In order
to further increase the effective utilization of water resources
through the use of new technology, the department has revised
the planning standards for systems that reuse wastewater and
use rainwater. |
| Rainwater
use: Reducing the amount of
clean water used by collecting rainwater from rooftops etc.,
storing it in rainwater tanks, and using it as graywater after
appropriate treatment (water to flush toilets, water for sprinklers,
etc.). |

The department
is working not only to reduce the load on the environment but
also to provide facilities that enhance the local environment
and the indoor environment. |
| Promoting
measures to reduce hazardous chemicals: In
addition to measuring the air inside newly completed buildings,
the department will establish guidelines (by around fiscal year
2005) for environmental measures to be taken with regard to
construction materials and methods. |
