Abstract: (1962 Views)
Access to the appropriate quality and quantity of water is very important during the building life cycle and various stages of construction and operation. The fundamental importance of water is evident from the fact that two of the 17 sustainable development goals are directly related to water. Hot and dry climatic conditions, low rainfall and high evaporation, improper use of limited water resources, and pollution of quantitative and qualitative water crises have been determined on different scales in Iran. A large part of water loss occurs at the building scale (residential, commercial, and official). Therefore, in many parts of the country, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, it's inevitable the need to adopt strategies for the optimal use of water resources in the construction sector. The present study investigates the use of alternative water resources, water resources recovery methods to achieve net-zero water buildings, focusing on methods of reducing water consumption at the building scale. The research method is descriptive-analytical with a qualitative study. The data collection tool is a review of written sources, documents, and previous studies, and the method of data analysis is content analysis. Findings indicate that the creation and utilization of a sustainable water cycle in the building through rainwater harvesting systems, gray water collection and treatment systems as alternative water sources, collection, and treatment of black water to charge aquifers, or injection into water supply sources can provide a platform for the realization of the net-zero buildings.
