Access to clean, abundant water is critical to the maintenance and growth of society. And this is not just a regional or US theme, it is a global issue. In this joint podcast with ICC Pulse, RESTalk host Bill Spohn interviews RESNET Program Director Ryan Meres and Code Council Executive Director of Sustainability Programs Dave Walls about the new water ratings standard, water efficiency and conservation. We learn about the upcoming joint RESNET ICC standard 1101: Water Rating index and How HERS H2O fits in the picture. We cover a lot of ground on the topic: ranging from piping to conversation to rain water harvesting, including indoor and outdoor use.
