20150078826 | WATER SCORE BASED SITE DEVELOPMENT - An architectural design system receives input specifying plans for (i) a site having a surface area, (ii) post-development buildings, parking lots or sidewalks arranged to occupy a portion of the surface area greater than existing buildings, parking lots and sidewalks on the site, and (iii) post-development rain water management apparatus arranged to occupy a portion of the surface area and configured to at least slow the rate at which rain water drains from the site. The system further computes a water score for the site based on expected rainfall for the site and the perviousness of the site under pre-settlement, existing and post-development conditions, and outputs the water score. | 03-19-2015 |
