Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: There is a vision and a movement toward buildings with zero environmental impact. It can be said, that the only building that truly doesn’t have an impact on the environment is one that doesn’t exist. However, we need buildings, so the question is, how do we reduce the operational impact of our buildings to zero? We need to focus on the impact of both existing and new buildings throughout their lives. Many studies have been done, and more and more precedents are proving that net zero and positive energy buildings, campuses, communities and cities are readily achievable. The largest hurdle in truly having zero impact is creating buildings independent of external water supplies and having on-site wastewater management in an economically feasible manner. There are currently very few solutions to these issues, but the most promising of those out there seems to be the modified fixed film biological treatment and reuse process. It is a way of enhancing the natural biological water treatment in creating a sustainable and reliable way to get clean water from black water and reuse it. In an ideal vision, this process could reuse the same water over and over again, creating its own on-site water cycle that is both low energy and natural. Combine this with stormwater collection and filtration and there is a readable available solution to one of the last hurdles to having zero impact.
