When: May 5, 2023 @10:00 AM-10:55 AM ET
Where: Washington DC
Presenters: Robert Drew, CEO Ecovie Water Management and Shayla Woodhouse, Project Engineer Biohabitats
We invite you to join us for Living Future 2023 in Washington, D.C., where advocates and thought leaders in regenerative building, climate justice, materials health, and biophilic design will meet under the theme of Advocacy + Belonging.
For many years, Ecovie and Biohabitats have worked with wide variety of teams and team members to design, permit, supply, and startup several systems using Potable rainwater system to achieve Water Petal status. Each project had unique challenges in permitting, design, and implementation and each was/is in a different part of the US. We explore the fun and not so fun aspects of these challenges, approaches taken, and results, including things we did differently on each subsequent project. We wrap up with a look ahead to the upcoming Water Petal projects which are in the works.
