Custom geomembrane and protective nonwoven textile help build the eco-friendly Monterey House
California has always had issues with a lack of water, and there have been recent concerns that volunteer water rationing might become mandatory. In addition, California regulation states that the footprint of a building dictates the number of bathrooms allowed in a house based on water availability. Harvesting rainwater offers homeowners the ability to have an unlimited number of bathrooms. The Monterey Bay Idea House presents a multitude of eco-friendly features in response to the need for energy efficiency, function, and sustainability. A water detention system was installed that allows for the harvesting of rain and stormwater to be re-used as a 'grey water' source for toilet flushing, car washing, and irrigation. The 49-ft-long x 34-ft-wide excavation contains 65 chambers that hold 20,000 gallons of water. A geosynthetic liner was used to provide a watertight envelope for this cistern. Approximately 2,400 square ft of reinforced geomembrane liner material was formed into a rectilinear box, 34ft wide x 44ft long x 5ft high, and with a 4 in. pipe-penetration boot fitting welded into the bottom of the liner to accommodate the equalization inlet/outlet from the adjacent pump basin. To fill the resulting cistern, all runoff from the roofs and surrounding site is collected in a network of laterals. The filters for the stormwater pump basins are distinct, constructed from prefabricated bags. The zippered bags are constructed from 2 layers of green woven geotextile with an inner layer of sorbent material.
