There are a number of incentives that encourage green, forward-thinking technology like Brac Systems. Whether you are a green building professional or a responsible homeowner, you can enjoy the following benefits for installing a gray water system today.

LEED Points

The US Green Building Council has created a national green building rating system called the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). All new LEED construction projects will be required to follow Version 3 of the guidelines, which offers a total of 10 LEED points under the Water Efficiency Category. In addition to the required base points, Brac Systems can earn you up to four additional points, thus helping you to attain LEED certification on your next project.

Tax Incentives

As a homeowner, you receive a tax credit of 30%, as much as $1,500, when you purchase energy efficient appliances in 2009 and 2010. Although gray water systems are not yet listed under these provisions, there is current legislation in congress that will give the same tax incentives for your water conservation efforts. Some states, such as Arizona and New Jersey, have already passed considerable measures to reward gray water recycling and other water conservation efforts, and many other states are expected to follow suit.

Publicity

Marketing your master-planned community, business or organization as “green” has never been more popular. And for good reason. By recycling gray water, you are proving your commitment to the environment, while planning to save money in the future. The commercial gray water systems are especially fitting for new military bases, public schools and universities, and correctional facilities—almost any government building where taxpayers’ money should be spent wisely.
