Osterman Beach House viii : Public Building Commission of Chicago August 2011
Introduction The Public Building Commission of Chicago (PBC) created this Water Reuse Handbook in its mission to serve the people of the City of Chicago and the County of Cook that reflects the highest standards of environmental sustainability. These guidelines offer PBC staff, project architects, engineers, facility managers, maintenance staff, and user agencies both a design reference and an educational tool for water reuse systems. The goals of the Water Reuse Handbook are to: 1. Examine the current regulatory climate surrounding water reuse strategies in the City of Chicago and the County of Cook; 2. Identify case studies on a local, regional, national, and international basis to define best practices in water reuse strategies as well as the types of water reuse systems most applicable for use in the City of Chicago and the County of Cook; and 3. Recommend appropriate water reuse measures, particularly relating to rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling, and to guide the implementation and maintenance of water reuse systems for PBC projects and beyond. Water reuse systems have and will continue to become more efficient. As such, this Handbook is a living document through which the PBC will continue to evaluate built projects and opportunities for water reuse and conservation. These guidelines will be updated regularly to include lessons learned that reflect changes in both technology and regulations. August 2011 Public Building Commission of Chicago : 1
