Michael Shilale Architects, reduces potable water use 60%



 

One of the latest strategies to be implemented here at MSA, as part of our quest to be the greenest existing building in Rockland County, is rainwater harvesting. Around sixty percent of the water we use in our office buildings is literally flushed down the toilet. Based upon our initial calculations enough water falls on our roof each month to flush all our toilets year round.

Many veterans return from service with both physical and mental challenges. Since our veterans have given so much to our nation, it is not only our duty but also our responsibility to provide for those who have sacrificed so much for us. The Homes for Heroes project was envisioned to give veterans who have multiple special needs, homes like everyone else.
