Survey on Sustainable Water Strategies

Please take this one-minute DVGBC survey on your interest in using sustainable water strategies in your projects. Survey results will help with DVGBC's work on a Philadelphia plumbing reform study. The project will hopefully make it easier for green builders to implement green building practices by removing barriers and incenting progressive developers, designers, and builders. Your input is crucial and we hope you’ll participate in the project.
