ADA Filling Stations Eliminate Bottles In The Workplace
THE PROBLEM
Most people don’t drink tapwater anymore. As a result,the workplace is cluttered with water bottles from 8 ounce "throw-aways" to 5 gallon jugs. Everywhere you look valuable space is being used to transport, store and dispose of
water bottles. It's a LEED nightmare.
THE SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE
Specify Filling Stations to refill personal water containers with filtrine water. In other words, serve "bottled water quality" without the bottles.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
- Install Filling Stations in convenient locations throughout the workplace... one for every 25 persons.
- Select an In-Wall Chiller/Purifier/Circulator sized to serve one quart per day per person.
- Connect Chiller/Purifier/Circulator to Filling Stations by running flexible, insulated copper tubing loop in the plenum above ceiling. Include coffee makers, ice makers and food service outlets in the loop.
Will you earn LEED Credits? You be the judge...
-
Energy required to manufacture, transport, chill, store and dispose of
plastic water bottles is eliminated.
- Almost 100 billion plastic water bottles are dumped in landfills each year. Refilling
personal containers will conserve materials and resources.
- Storage space for water bottles is a waste of materials and resources.
- Water bottles are open containers, part water, part "secondhand" air.
Eliminate open bottles to improve the indoor environment.
- Filling Stations & Chiller/Purifier/Circulators carry a Lifetime Warranty.
They are the sustainable alternative to throw-away plastic bottles.
