Armando Iachini: New Tendencies in Sustainable Architecture

By

Recently, this tendency of working under the parameter of sustainable architecture, also known as green architecture or eco-architecture has grown significantly. 

Its main aim is to generate all the comfort necessary to live and work under a pleasant environment but minimizing the impact of the buildings to the environment.

The construction projects that are applied nowadays are oriented at taking advantage the best way as possible of the resources, in order to reduce working costs as well as to diminish the incidence generated due to mankind activities to the environment.

The construction world has given importance to buildings that have water-recycling systems, an element that reduces liquid consumption and maximizes its efficient use by preserving this vital natural resource.

The most important element to save water in a household is the use of new technologies that recycle water and that use rainwater.

It is estimated that a person uses at least 129 liters of waters per day in a household; almost the half of the consumption related to personal hygiene activities.

Beyond the consciousness level that each one of us must have about the rational use of natural resources, there are other measures aimed at saving water. 

If the construction companies take into account that a good part of the water waste is originated in restrooms, a new conception of the construction models must be considered. 

That is how new ideas that allow reducing water waste may be introduced as well as the installation of showers that reduce the quantity of water from 20 liters to 10 liters per minute.

In a normal family household, more than 90.000 liters of water could be saved per year through the prism of the installation of a mechanical-biological system in order to recycle water. 

Nowadays, AquaCycle has had an important success. It cleans wastewater allowing its ulterior use to make activities such as washing the clothes and watering the garden.

Every construction enterprise must evaluate the methods that will allow them to protect the environment over time.
