BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network

This project has two objectives. The primary objective is to predict/evaluate how green building designs may impact water quality issues in building premise plumbing or possibly the distribution system (from reduced demand, etc.). The secondary objective is to collect, compile and report on non-water-quality-related impacts of green building and off-grid green building designs on centralized water utility system operations addressing such concerns as rate payer equity, service and connection charges, incentives or rebates, fire service supply, supply redundancy, main sizing, codes, and standards.
