In this space over the course of my first full calendar year at pme, I have banged the drum (and not slowly) in favor of enhancing water savings in fixtures and applications. This is a passion of mine because I truly believe we need to do everything possible to save the valuable resources at our disposal.
That being said – and with much more experience in this industry under my belt – I understand more of the risks and trials engineers face with designing intricate systems that reach new levels of efficiency. Just a few of the major issues engineers face are to make sure the system performs exceptionally, navigating local and national codes, and, maybe most importantly, protecting people from Legionella and other waterborne diseases.
