One of the first steps to optimise water efficiency in a building is to use low-flow fixtures and water-efficient appliances. These measures can reduce the water consumption and runoff of the building, and increase the potential for rainwater infiltration, storage and reuse.

The HPI d-school Building is fitted with sanitary fittings with lower flow rates than typical commercial fittings benchmarks.
