Chatham University’s, an internationally recognized leader in sustainability, Eden Hall Campus is the first in the world built from the ground up for the study of sustainable living, learning and development and using the latest in environmentally responsible technology, design and innovation. Eden Hall, designed to accommodate 1,500 students, is self-sustaining in every way by producing zero carbon emissions and more energy than it consumes.
“We congratulate Chatham University and its pioneering efforts, the first in the world from the ground up for the study of sustainability, to minimize energy consumption throughout the campus for their “zero energy” project,” says Matthew Beasley, director of sales for Wilo USA. “We are proud to be a part of this ground breaking endeavor with our adjustable energy-saving Wilo Stratos Class A pumps with EC motors.”
“Pumps often go unnoticed in the pursuit of energy savings, using high-efficiency pumps like Wilo’s can yield energy-savings of 80% or more. Important when you realize pumps can account for 20% or more of a building’s electrical energy usage,” says Beasley.
“Furthermore our Energy Solutions Division can help colleges like Chatham save energy by providing energy assessments, utility rebates, incentive services, life cycle cost analysis, ROI, and remote monitoring and service contracts. We back up our confidence in our pumps with an industry-leading four-year warranty,” concludes Beasley.
Wilo Stratos Commercial High-Efficiency Circulators powered by EC motor technology deliver up to 285 USGPM while reducing energy consumption up to 80%. Stratos is the world’s first high-efficiency circulators. Operation is simple: a “red button” controls all essential functions. The Stratos is the first electronically controlled wet-rotor circulator for heating that is also designed to avoid condensate, making it available as part of a cooling water systems for air conditioning and industrial refrigeration.

For both new installation and repair work, professional plumbers and DIY homeowners alike rely on durable and safe fittings, connectors and valves. Since 1946, BrassCraft Manufacturing has been the professional’s choice, becoming a trusted partner in providing a full range of water, gas, faucet and toilet supplies, tubing and more.
BrassCraft Corp Offices in Novi, MINow serving the fourth generation of plumbers with dependable products, BrassCraft Manufacturing has set the standard in quality and ingenuity for the industry. With products designed, machined and assembled in the U.S., BrassCraft Manufacturing remains committed to the ideals of its founder, Robert Zell, with an acute focus on product innovation, efficiency, safety and supporting the business growth of professional plumbers.
“From the wall to the fixture or appliance, our products hook up more water and gas connections than any other brand in the industry,” said Joe Gross, president of BrassCraft Manufacturing. “Ensuring the safety and reliability of these critical connections is a top priority for our customers, and we take that responsibility very seriously. Both professionals and DIY homeowners know they can trust BrassCraft® products to do the job right, every time.”
The pioneer behind the first flexible, one-piece supply line for plumbing connections, BrassCraft Manufacturing revolutionized the plumbing industry 68 years ago, saving professional and DIY plumbers time, material and money by eliminating the cumbersome, time-consuming connections previously required with rigid brass or iron pipe. That legacy of innovation continued with the launch of the one-piece water stop and other design and manufacturing innovations that have set the production standard for the industry.
Today, BrassCraft Manufacturing continues to excel in developing world-class, dependable products like its Speedi Plumb PLUS® polymer braided connectors, along with the Safety+PLUS® excess flow valves and ProCoat® corrosion-resistant gas connectors, which recently won First Place in the 2014 Innovation Awards by Home Improvement Executive. The company has also been at the forefront of the industry in meeting the new no-lead laws with a full range of high-quality compliant products, helping customers to meet government mandates as quickly and efficiently as possible.

PIA Award for Undermount Bowls
Bradley Corp., the industry leader in designing exceptional hand washing solutions, has won a 2014 Product Innovation Award (PIA) presented by Architectural Products magazine for its new and highly durable HS-Series Terreon™ Solid Surface Undermount Basins. The HS-Series is the only collection of ADA-compliant, multipurpose basins featuring a flat bottom design with clean, contemporary lines.
The Terreon Undermount Basins scored high in PIA’s Restroom Products/Plumbing Category with the panel of 50 independent industry professionals representing the architectural community who selected the most outstanding and innovative product solutions used in commercial buildings and institutions.
HS-Series Undermount Basins provide durability and flexibility
HS-Series Undermount Basins can be specified either as a seamless, prefabricated Bradley Omnideck™ Lavatory System packaged ready to install, or basin only with Terreon solid surface countertops ready for field fabrication. With 32 Terreon colors and three contemporary basin shapes available – rectangular, square or oval – the design possibilities are endless.
The flat bottom design not only provides a high aesthetic, but also maximizes capacity making the basins ideal for general hand washing or multipurpose use.
Compliant with ADA guidelines, the HS-Series Undermount Basins are ideal for healthcare applications such as exam rooms, patient rooms and nursing stations, as well as a number of commercial hand washing applications, including laboratories, high-rise offices, airports and more.
Resilient Terreon solid surface material
Constructed of durable, non-porous Terreon solid surface material, HS-Series Undermount Basins are repairable to its original finish. Terreon resists stains, burns, chemicals and impact, which makes it an appealing product for high-volume and every day applications. Surface marks and scratches are repaired easily with everyday cleaners or fine-grit abrasives, making the material very easy to clean and maintain. Since there are no seams or adhesives, Terreon does not support microbial growth, so germs and bacteria are kept at bay. It has earned the IAPMO Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and the Home Innovation Lab Certification, and is GREENGUARD-Certified as a low-emitting material.
“Bradley is thrilled to have won a Product Innovation Award for our lavatory products for the past three years in a row,” said Jon Dommisse, director of global marketing and strategic development for Bradley. “This past year the HS-Series Undermount Basins have proved to be very popular within many markets based on their high durability, flexibility and aesthetics.”
