Gray water system to recover water from lavatories and HVAC condensation for reuse in flushing toilets and urinals

"We are extremely excited to be a part of this tremendous development," said Gregory. "The project will contain a sustainable rain harvesting feature that will be utilized to irrigate the landscape. We have seen sustainable architecture in the office sector, but Webb leads the industry in developing this concept for the industrial sector."
