The crisis over the shortage of potable water is now occurring in various parts of the world. Ecotech's "Water Conservation" technology is aggressively addressing this problem. With increased worldwide population and the resulting demands for new development the supply of potable water might very well become the new "oil" of the 21st century.
Ecotech Water has recently announced an improved water conservation program and new products for both commercial and public facilities. Their products are capable of saving up to 100% on water and sewer charges while also providing additional significant savings in both water heating and maintenance costs. Ecotech "Air Induced" products consistently offer improved performance over other low consumption bathroom fixtures on the market.
Ecotech's CEO, Terry Janssen, stated: "when a total retrofit is completed using Ecotech products they can shut the water off". He was referring to building retrofits completed with the Ecotech Water Conservation Program that includes capturing rainwater and air conditioning condensate water. "In a normal year, the building would need no outside water from a well or city water" Janssen further stated. "In other words they (the end user) will not need to take any water from the aquifer". It should be noted that in many locations these water sources are being depleted and are becoming alarmingly very low.
February 12, 2007 - (Washington, DC) - The U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) Greenbuild International Conference and Expo, the premiere green building conference in the world, is moving to Chicago for its 2007 show, which will be held on November 7-9, 2007, as previously announced. A change to Chicago venue offers expanded exhibitor space, alignment with one of the greenest cities in America. "Chicago is welcoming us with open arms" said Peter Templeton, Vice President of Education & Research, USGBC. "Chicago is not only one of the greenest cities in the country, Mayor Richard Daley has set a high bar for sustainable leadership and green building is a significant part of his commitment."
Chicago, a cradle of American architecture, was also one of the first cities to adopt the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDŽ) Green Building Rating System, and now has more building projects registered to earn this prestigious certification than any other city in the world. The new West Building at McCormick Place is a LEED registered project and Greenbuild will be one of the first major shows to be held there.
LEED Certified Buildings in Chicago include:
"Chicago is committed to becoming the most environmentally friendly city in the world," said Mayor Richard M. Daley. "Chicago was one of the first cities to adopt LEED for the construction of all new city facilities and to develop an expedited permit process for LEED certified green buildings. As a signatory to the U.S. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement and a member of the Clinton Climate Initiative, Chicago is also a leader in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and we are pleased to be working with USGBC to make green building a key element of our efforts. We look forward to hosting Greenbuild 2007 and to sharing our green buildings experience with the participants."
Greenbuild 2006's record-breaking attendance underscored the exponentially growing interest in sustainable design and construction, and hosting Greenbuild is considered to be an excellent way for cities to showcase their green building programs and sustainability commitments. Held in Denver, Col., the 2006 show welcomed 13,500 attendees and over 700 exhibit booths and the global attention Denver received for their green commitments was substantial.
Greenbuild 2007 will continue to feature three days of extensive green building educational sessions and workshops, a vast exhibition floor, and numerous networking events. Attendees come from around the world, and include architects, engineers, facilities managers, developers, contractors, builders, interior designers, product manufacturers, and government representatives.
