Progressive Rainwater Solutions

南阿尔伯塔理工学院（SAIT）正在申请NSERC应用研究工具和仪器项目的支持，用于购买和安装各种各样的雨水收集、测试和监测设备。该设备将使绿色建筑技术（GBT）研究团队能够帮助行业合作伙伴（设计师、建筑商、开发商、公共部门和行业协会）进行住宅和商业开发的雨水管理、收集和再利用技术的设计、制造、系统改进、施工协调和性能监测。增强的技术能力将显著提高SAIT在雨水收集、收集和测试领域的研究能力，同时满足工业、公共部门和监管机构对这种不断扩大的实践日益增长的需求。SAIT将利用这些设备帮助艾伯塔省的建筑商和开发商，特别是中小型企业，提高他们在雨水解决方案方面的知识基础，并提高公司、行业协会、政府组织和公众的环保意识。

The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) is requesting support from the NSERC Applied Research Tools and Instruments Program for the purchase and installation of an assortment of rainwater harvesting, testing and monitoring equipment. This equipment will enable the Green Building Technologies (GBT) research team to aid industry partners (designers, builders, developers, public sectors and industry associations) in the design, fabrication, system improvement, construction coordination and performance monitoring of rainwater management, collection and re-use technologies for residential and commercial developments. Enhanced technical capabilities will significantly improve SAIT's research capacity in the area of rainwater collection, harvesting and testing while addressing the growing needs of this ever expanding practice by industry, public sectors and regulators. SAIT will utilize the equipment to help improve the knowledge base of builders and developers in Alberta, especially small and medium enterprises, in rainwater solutions, and promote the environmental awareness among the companies, industry associations, governmental organizations and the public.
