• Buildings profound impact on environment, economy, health, and productivity. – In the United States alone, buildings account for:
• 65% of electricity consumption, • 36% of energy use, • 30% of waste output, • 12% of potable water consumption.
• Water constraints – Drought – Infrastructure – Shortage

Why the Need?
• Nothing focusing solely on plumbing and mechanical systems.
• Nothing covering all aspects of sustainable construction for RESIDENTIAL and COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS.
• Key stakeholders never brought together to properly vet sustainable plumbing and mechanical construction practices.

It is a complex world of changing habits, regulations and expectations. For some, green thinking constitutes an unwelcome distraction, an intrusion into the normal course of business, but they couldn’t be more wrong. Increasingly, “business as usual” means green business.
Companies that embrace sustainable practices are finding that green business is not just a better way of doing business, it is a gateway to new opportunities that could help them survive in today’s tougher markets. – From an article entitled Think Green
