What is Backflow and How Do Communities Mitigate the Public Health Risk?
In this episode, we delve deep into the critical issue of backflow prevention, exploring the latest technologies and methodologies that are transforming the field.
When talking about the built environment, we would do well to remember, "We shape our buildings, and afterwards, our buildings shape us." Therefore, on each episode, we'll discuss the latest trends from IAPMO in plumbing and mechanical safety, sustainability, and resiliency. Join our host, Christoph Lohr, to explore the ways we can make our buildings shape us for the better.
