EMA and GF Piping Systems Team Up to Host Free AIA-Approved Webiner

The Energy Management Association is teaming up with the newest Associate member GF Piping Systems to host a free AIA-approved webinar that will discuss best practices for water management and how to further optimize water plans by integrating automation tools.

Historically, premise plumbing systems have been designed, installed, and operated without the ability to quickly and easily monitor their operation making effective building water management time consuming and difficult. In this presentation, the presenters will review the impact of common building water issues, principles of effective water management, and how emerging automation technology supports key water management objectives, including fundamental legionella control strategies, improved user experience, and plumbing system optimization.

“The extended vacancy and reduced occupancy experienced during the coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the need for better management of building water systems. Neglected water systems pose significant health risks and contribute to water and energy waste," said Greg Swafford, CPD, GPD, GF Piping Systems, EMA webinar presenter. "In this presentation you will discover how automation technology can simplify water management, mitigate legionella risks, and optimize system performance."
