ASPE member John Lansing receives a 2018 World Plumbing Council Scholarship
John Lansing, CPD, LEED GA, a plumbing designer with Interface Engineering in Portland, Oregon and a member of ASPE's Portland Chapter, was awarded the 2018 World Plumbing Council (WPC) Education and Training Scholarship. This is the first time since 2005 that an applicant from the U.S. has been awarded this scholarship, according to ASPE.
Lansing's interest in studying plumbing codes and standards in other countries and comparing those to U.S. practices led to his applying for the scholarship. He will spend the first half of 2019 studying British plumbing engineering standards and then spend three weeks in London and Edinburgh for a hands-on review of British plumbing engineering practices. The culmination of the scholarship will be a report featuring comparisons of British methods with those used in the United States under the International Plumbing Code and Uniform Plumbing Code and how British technologies may be utilized in the U.S.
