Innovative Buildings #
When planning an environmentally friendly home, consider that a building has inputs, storage, usage, processing, and outputs. This will help you select the techniques and technologies you will need. Fresh water for example, is an input, collected by storing rain, processed by filters, then used for drinking, bathing, and laundry. Afterward, gray water is output to water a garden or used to flush toilets. In some homes, the blackwater output of the septic system is recycled.
