SFPUC HQ as a Wastewater Treatment System
The SFPUC built a new building very recently. John Scarpulla will tell us about how the new HQ building functions as a wastewater treatment system using an internal artificial swamp. The building is impressive in a lot of ways: consuming 32% less energy, 60% less water, and a 50% smaller carbon footprint than similarly-sized office buildings.
It is one of the first buildings in the nation with onsite treatment of gray and black water with an onsite "Living Machine" which reclaims and treats all of the building's wastewater reducing per person water consumption from 12 gallons (normal office building) to 5 gallons.
