Green building certifications — LEED, IGBC, and GRIHA — are now a standard requirement for large commercial developments across India. Hotels, IT parks, hospitals, and corporate offices in Delhi NCR, Gurugram, Noida, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, and pan-India are increasingly specifying environmentally responsible washroom products as part of their sustainability strategy.
Here is how the right washroom products contribute to green building certification and water conservation goals.
1. Sensor Taps — The Biggest Water Saver
Automatic sensor taps are one of the most impactful water conservation measures available for commercial washrooms. By activating only when hands are present and shutting off immediately after, sensor taps reduce water consumption by 40 to 60 percent compared to manual taps. For LEED certification under the Water Efficiency credit category, sensor taps from UTEC Systems contribute directly to achieving the required reduction in water use.
2. Automatic Urinal Sensors — Eliminate Wasteful Flushing
Traditional manual urinals in commercial buildings often flush unnecessarily — either triggered by building pressure systems or left running. Automatic urinal sensors flush only after use, with precisely controlled water volumes. This can reduce urinal water consumption by up to 70 percent — a significant contribution to LEED Water Efficiency credits.
3. High-Speed Hand Dryers — Eliminate Paper Waste
LEED and IGBC green building ratings reward projects that reduce waste generation. Replacing paper towels with high-speed automatic hand dryers eliminates paper waste entirely from washrooms — contributing to Materials and Resources credits. UTEC’s energy-efficient hand dryers consume significantly less electricity than older warm-air models, supporting Energy and Atmosphere credits as well.
4. Automatic Soap Dispensers — Reduce Chemical Waste
Touchless foam soap dispensers use up to 50 percent less soap per use than traditional liquid dispensers. Reduced soap consumption means less chemical waste entering drainage systems — contributing to Indoor Environmental Quality credits under LEED.
5. Stainless Steel Fittings — Durable and Low-Impact
LEED rewards products with long lifecycle and low replacement frequency. Grade 304 stainless steel washroom accessories from UTEC Systems are built to last 15 to 20 years in commercial environments — reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing and disposing of replacement products.
6. Documentation and Specification Support
LEED certification requires detailed product documentation. UTEC Systems provides full product specifications, material declarations, and technical data sheets to support the documentation requirements of LEED and IGBC certification submissions.
