AquaPro Solutions: Zurn Plumbing Products

Zurn Engineered Water Solutions

Today’s building owners and facilities managers face increasing cost challenges, one of which is reducing water consumption. The EcoVantage series provides a mix of innovative LEED/Green listed products including water-free urinals, 1/8 gallon ultra low flow urinals, high efficiency (HET) pressure-assist toilets and 1.28 ultra low flow flush valve fixtures. Lavatories can be installed with self-generating sensor faucets, metering faucets, and low flow pressure compensating aerators that deliver the same level of performance as traditional fittings with minimal water consumption. These products can be installed for new construction or retrofitted to existing installations to lower building costs and provide long-term savings.

Buildings can be updated to the latest sensor washroom technology that reduces bacteria transfer and increases restroom hygiene. The AquaSense line of flush valves and sensor faucets provides battery or hardwire solutions. The sensor technology is reliable and provides building owners with a variety of application choices.

For assistance with your next LEED/water conservation project look to AquaPro for design assistance. We can help deliver innovative solutions outside of the standard LEED criteria.

Zurn & LEED

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) Green Building Rating System represents the U.S. Green Building Council’s effort to provide a national standard for what constitutes a “green building.” Through its use as a design guideline and third party certification tool, it aims to improve occupant well-being, environmental performance, and economic returns of buildings using established innovative practices, standards, and technologies.

Application for LEED credits starts with the architects and other building designers. Through the use of carefully calculated floor plans, environmentally friendly building materials, energy efficient products, and innovative system designs, buildings can obtain a high ranking LEED certification. This certification process produces buildings that are great environments and will save energy and resources every day.

AquaPro Solutions is striving to provide as many products as possible to enable architects to design as “green” as possible. The LEED rating system provides a set of performance standards to serve as a guideline for each of the phases of design and construction. The categories addressed are Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Innovation in Design.

These products can provide assistance in the Water Efficiency section of the LEED template. In the Water Efficiency section a total of five credits may be obtained: two credits for water efficient landscaping, one credit for innovative wastewater technologies, and two credits for water use reduction.
