In a recent conversation with Sara Gutterman of Green Builder Media, IAPMO's John Watson discussed how IAPMO blends proven standards with smart technology to support cost-effective and environmentally responsible building solutions.
John highlighted the Water Demand Calculator, a tool that enables the downsizing of piping systems, resulting in significant cost savings and improved system performance. He also emphasized IAPMO's role in accelerating the adoption of innovative technologies by establishing clear standards and certification pathways that ensure safety, performance, and regulatory confidence.
By eliminating uncertainty for inspectors and validating new solutions, IAPMO helps the industry embrace innovation without compromising safety.
