7.6 Indoor Water Use

7.6 室内用水

English(英文原文)中文(中文翻译)
Indoor water use encompasses water used for urinals, toilets, showers, kitchen and bathroom sinks, and various appliances. Indoor water use is a significant component of many projects' ongoing water use. 室内用水包括用于小便器、马桶、淋浴、厨房和浴室水槽以及各种设备的水。室内用水是许多项目持续用水的重要组成部分。
A project's indoor water use is impacted by the amount of water used by fixtures installed on site. This water use is measured in flush and flow rates, published values provided by the fixture manufacturer. 项目的室内用水量受现场安装的设备用水量的影响。这种用水量以冲水量和流量来衡量,由设备制造商提供。

  • Retrofitting older fixtures with aerators, which are devices that inject air into the water in order to reduce water use, and other devices for reducing flush and flow rates.
  • 为旧设备加装起泡器——一种将空气注入水中以减少用水量的装置——以及其他减少冲水量和流量的装置。
  • Installing high-efficiency fixtures. This refers to plumbing fixtures that either conserve water (e.g., low-flow lavatories and dual-flush toilets) or eliminate water demand entirely (e.g., waterless urinals and composting toilets).
  • 安装高效设备。这指既能节水(如低流量洗脸盆和双冲马桶)又能完全消除用水需求(如无水小便器和堆肥马桶)的管道设备。
  • Investigating the feasibility of using alternative non-potable sources of water (e.g., rainwater or graywater) to flush toilets and urinals.
  • 调查使用替代非饮用水源(如雨水或灰水)冲马桶和小便器的可行性。
