The way we manage water in public and commercial buildings has never been more critical. While healthcare facilities are required to have a water management plan, every building—whether a school, stadium, museum, office, or large venue—faces risks from water stagnation and bacteria growth. Infrequent use, seasonal closures, and varying occupancy levels can all contribute to waterborne pathogens, posing a hidden threat to occupants.
As a plumbing engineer, facility manager, operations leader or general contractor, you play a vital role in designing, installing and maintaining plumbing systems that safeguard public health. However, no two buildings are the same. Each facility has unique challenges based on its design, occupancy patterns, and plumbing infrastructure. To ensure water safety, it’s essential to take a comprehensive approach—considering how a building is constructed, used, and maintained over time.
This session will provide a comprehensive understanding of water management and overall water health in all types of buildings, helping you implement best practices to protect occupants and ensure compliance.
