Management of water has been studied
in detail. One basic premise has been followed at all times: to recover as much
of the water used in the building as possible. Clearly, it is impossible to
recover all the water, particularly in the case of a building that houses laboratories.
Firstly, all of the rainwater to fall on the roof is collected. Here, there is 75%
green roof which makes an initial filter of rainwater. Secondly, there is the
grey water which, after being subject to a recycling process, is used in full for
the sanitation system. These are the sources of water provided by the building
that can be put to use.
In addition, there is water
from the laboratories. This water contains the remains of the products used in
the laboratories which, if discharged directly into the sewage system might
harm the environment. As a result, water from the laboratories is subject to
prior treatment before being discharged into the system.
