Upon integration with an already existing on-site sewage treatment plant, RMZ Corp. was able to clean water for reuse in various areas, including irrigation and flushing. When the buildings were first constructed, rainwater collection systems were installed, however, a reuse system had not yet been established. With implementation of a system by which this water could be reused, further water consumption was reduced. 5.3.2.2.2. Arc Integration After entering their data into the Arc system, they found that the buildings, on average, received a weighted Water performance score of 9/14. While this is on par with both the global and local average, RMZ Corp. still believes that there are substantial improvements that can be made to further reduce the site’s water consumption.

5.3.2.2.3. Future There is still substantial room for improvement in RMZ Ecoworld’s water consumption. To achieve lower consumption levels, the project team has suggested starting with an adjustment of the water treatment systems. With improvements to the efficiency and capacity of their water treatment system, RMZ Ecoworld could substantially improve its Water score. In addition to structural improvements, RMZ Corp. is working to change policies within their buildings. Through increased communication with their facilities team, RMZ Corp. has highlighted the importance of preventative maintenance. This means ensuring that all sensors and fixtures are consistently cleaned and properly maintained, which wasn't done previously. By fostering awareness around the physical infrastructure of the water management system,
