A Guide to Water Conservation Solutions Is Now Available
MILWAUKEE, WI (October 6, 2010) – A practical, real-world guide designed to expand water conservation efforts inside and outside of today’s facilities was released. The IFMA Foundation and the Alliance for Sustainable Built Environments (ASBE) produced the white paper titled A Comprehensive Guide to Water Conservation: The Bottom Line Impacts, Challenges and Rewards.
The guide is available free of charge and provides an overview of key areas in water conservation, covering: domestic water use including restrooms, hot water consumption and water reclamation; process water use including cooling towers and laundry facilities; rainwater harvesting with a description of harvesting techniques and applications for water reuse; green roofs with a description of types and various benefits of green roofs; and case studies that offer real-world insight into effective approaches.
Relying on their vast depth of knowledge, authors of the guide provided an array of information pertinent to water-related issues. The authors include: Rob Zimmerman, Manager – Engineering, Water Conservation and Sustainability at Kohler Co.; Mike Warren, Senior Design Engineer at Watertronics; Patrick Okamura, Facility Manager at General Dynamics; Gary Klein Managing Partner of Affiliated International Management, LLC; Ed Jarger, General Sales and Marketing Manager at American Hydrotech; and David Cosaboon, Staff Engineer at Facility Engineering Associates.
The white paper is the latest in the Sustainability “How-to” Guide Series produced by the IFMA Foundation. To download a free copy of A Comprehensive Guide to Water Conservation: The Bottom Line Impacts, Challenges and Rewards, please visit ifmafoundation.org, greenerfacilities.org, or click here.
Watertronics accepted as member of the
Alliance for Sustainable Built Environments. go to ASBE
In August of 2009, Watertronics became a member of the Alliance for Sustainble Built Environments (ASBE),a select group of industry leaders who practice and are recognized for leadership in sustainability.
Founded in 2003, the mission of the Alliance’s international corporate members is to educate the marketplace and top management on the benefits of reducing the overall impact facilities have on the natural environment and on building occupants. Members include Johnson Controls, Milliken & Company, Forbo Flooring, Philips Lighting, JohnsonDiversey, Owens Corning, USG Corporation, Kohler Co., Eaton Corp, KONE, and now Watertronics.
The Alliance invited Watertronics to join based on the company's commitment to delivering water conserving products,” said Craig Zurawski, executive director, Alliance for Sustainable Built Environments. “Watertronics’ water conservation systems contribute to high performance green buildings as they capture rain water and redistribute it for irrigation and other purposes.”
