12 CORE Principles for Healthy Building Design
CORE Principle 10
Water Quality & Advanced Filtration
Every water source is different.
Municipal water and private wells can contain different combinations of disinfectants, minerals, metals, sediment, dissolved solids, and other contaminants.
SENERGY360 starts by understanding the source water and then helps design a treatment strategy around the actual conditions of the project.
SENERGY360 helps guide:
- Source-water testing
- Whole-home filtration
- Sediment filtration
- Carbon filtration
- Specialty filtration media
- Water softening where required
- Microbial-control strategies where appropriate
- Point-of-use drinking-water systems
- Reverse osmosis where appropriate
- Remineralization
- Water conditioning and structuring when specified
- Equipment location and serviceability
- Filter-replacement schedules
- Ongoing water testing
Test first. Design the treatment system around the water—not the marketing claims of the equipment.
One of 12: Water Quality & Advanced Filtration
Every principle is stronger when the other eleven are in the room.
SENERGY360 coordinates all twelve from early design through final verification.
