Estimated percentage of the institution’s wastewater treated and managed on-site using natural wastewater systems (1-9%, 10-24%, 25-49%, 50-74%, 75-99%, 100%):
A brief description of the institution’s sustainable wastewater systems and technologies:
One of our most innovative projects is the closed-loop solar/aquatic waste water treatment system in the Charles Townes Science Center, dubbed "The Living Machine." The living machine uses natural processes to clean up to 5,000 gallons/day from the Science Center and the PAC. Water is then re-circulated into the building as grey water, which can be used for non-potable water demands like flushing toilets.
