Water Conservation
These are the standards in SynC Standards that cover Water Conservation. Each one is a complete, plain-language specification: the scope it applies to, the requirements that govern it, and a structured equipment datasheet listing the values a project has to decide, with the standards each is verified against. All of it is written and maintained by SynC, free to read without an account, and published under CC BY 4.0.
A standard usually carries several topics, so most of the entries below also appear under neighbouring subjects. The topics each one carries are listed on its own page.
Standards
- Landscape Irrigation
Underground automatic landscape irrigation on commercial, institutional, industrial, campus, and multi-family sites, from the irrigation point of connection through the mainline, isolation and zone control valves, the master valve and flow sensor, lateral piping, spray bodies and gear-driven rotors, drip and subsurface drip, the controller with its rain, freeze, flow, and soil moisture sensors and its field wiring, sleeving under paving, irrigation-specific pipe zone and cover requirements, hydrostatic and coverage testing, controller programming, winterization, record documents, warranty, and spare parts. Read alongside the irrigation plan, legend, zone schedule, and details, which carry the head and emitter layout, spacing, nozzle assignments, zone flows and pressures, pipe sizes, and routing this standard defers to them.
- Plumbing Fixtures
Plumbing fixtures and their trim, carriers, supply stops, and exposed waste connections in commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings. Covers water closets, urinals, lavatories, service sinks and mop basins, hand-wash sinks, break room and office kitchen sinks, showers, drinking fountains and bottle fillers, and plumbed emergency eyewash and drench shower equipment. Establishes the fixture material and construction, the flush and flow technology, the consumption rates measured against the federal EPAct maximums and the EPA WaterSense specifications, the mounting and carrier requirements, the accessibility criteria, the scald-protection arrangement at the fixture, and the acceptance testing that proves each fixture performs at its rated volume or flow.
