Water Conservation Strategies

CornerStone meets Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (SDCI) requirements by targeting a 100% reduction in potable water use for non-potable applications, such as irrigation and toilet flushing.

  • A 250,000-gallon rainwater cistern captures and stores runoff from the roof, which is filtered and reused within the building.

  • Bio-retention planters manage and treat stormwater by filtering pollutants and slowing runoff, reducing the burden on municipal drainage systems.

  • This integrated system helps CornerStone significantly cut water consumption, enhance site resilience, and contribute to long-term environmental sustainability.
