| Landscape irrigation is a significant component of many projects' ongoing outdoor water use. The site design, including the amount, types, and placement of plants, can significantly influence the amount of water required for irrigation. |
景观灌溉是许多项目持续室外用水的重要组成部分。场地设计可显著影响灌溉所需的水量。 |

绿色建筑策略 |
- Selecting native and adapted species, since these typically do not need routine irrigation except during a brief period after planting. Xeriscaping uses drought-tolerant native or adapted plants along with rocks, bark mulch, and other landscape elements.
|
- 选择本地和适生物种,因为这些物种除种植后的短暂时期外通常不需要常规灌溉。旱景造园使用耐旱的本地或适生植物以及岩石、树皮覆盖物和其他景观元素。
|
- Selecting high-performance irrigation systems for any remaining irrigation needs. Drip and bubbler distribution systems channel water directly to root systems and reduce evaporation.
|
- 为剩余的灌溉需求选择高性能灌溉系统。滴灌和涌泉分配系统将水直接输送到根系并减少蒸发。
|
- Installing weather-based irrigation controllers (also known as smart irrigation controllers), which respond to weather conditions.
|
- 安装基于天气的灌溉控制器(也称为智能灌溉控制器),可根据天气条件做出响应。
|
- Investigating the feasibility of using alternative non-potable sources of water (e.g., rainwater or graywater) for outdoor applications.
|
- 调查使用替代非饮用水源(如雨水或灰水)用于室外应用的可行性。
|
| Ecological conservation and restoration: The use of native and adapted plant species also helps provide habitats for local wildlife and supports ecosystems. |
生态保护与恢复:使用本地和适生植物物种还有助于为当地野生动物提供栖息地并支持生态系统。 |
