Program Description
Guest Presenter: Kevin Rudat CID, CIC, CLIA, Sales Manager, Larchmont Engineering & Irrigation, Inc. Lexington, MA
With today’s water conservation movements and the EPA Water Sense Program and new LEED requirements being incorporated, designs today are requiring more control on the use of our most precious natural resource. With concerns over water supply shortages, runoff issues and economic pressures, the use of water in our landscapes is being closely monitored. Now, more than ever, the focus on conservation is becoming the focus of many designs.
In this workshop, Kevin Rudat, a Certified Irrigation Designer, Contractor and Auditor will help you to understand and identify the different types of systems that are in use in the modern landscape and their respective water consumption. A focus of this course will be on how you can provide irrigation in your landscape designs and creations with this conservation goal in mind through proper system selection, system control and through use of the different styles of water sensors.
The main portion of the course will be on drip irrigation, the most water efficient system in production, detailing its water requirements and uses in lawns, beds and planters. A complete overview of design layout, component identification and specification, with installation and hardware examples on hand, will have you thinking even more landscape water consciously by the end of this class. So whether you’re looking to more efficiently care for the properties you maintain, are looking to start installing your own irrigation or are facing more LEED water requirements in your present designs, join us for an information packed day and walk away with a solid irrigation base knowledge and one more reason for your clients to appreciate you.
