First Manufacturer Receives IAPMO Green Certification

The Green Certification program identifies products that are water-efficient.

Sloan High-Efficiency Toilets (HET) and High-Efficiency Urinals (HEU) are now certified under the new IAPMO R&T Inc. Green Certification program. This makes Sloan the first manufacturer to earn this certification for non-residential, commercial plumbing products, according to the company.

In addition to its vitreous china HETs and HEUs, the new HMA7000 model of the AQUS water reuse system for residential and light commercial projects is also listed under the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials’ (IAPMO) Green Certification program.

The Green Certification program identifies and tests products that are water-efficient based on water use reduction when compared to the water use baseline indicated in each specification. It will be helpful for contractors, building inspectors, architects and other professionals who currently have to wade through many types of green rating systems and standards in the industry.

The listing shows the Green Certified Sloan plumbing products to be compliant with any or all of the following:

    • 2010 California Green Building Standards
    • IAPMO Green Plumbing and Mechanical Code Supplement
    • Green Building Initiative’s Green Globes
