After almost two years since the last Emerging Water Technology Symposium (EWTS), the American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE), the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO), the Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI), and the Water Quality Association (WQA) are presenting the 8th Emerging Water Technology Symposium in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Scheduled for May 10-11, 2022, this year’s EWTS features discussions of developing technologies and emerging trends with a focus on water efficiency, cybersecurity, water heating, and Legionella prevention.
ASPE, IAPMO, PMI, and WQA have arranged a comprehensive program that promises to provide solutions for the plumbing industry’s new challenges and engage in meaningful conversations about relevant subjects. Plumbing professionals from all over the world are expected to attend.
Here are the topics you can learn more about at the 8th EWTS:
Water Efficiency
Water is the most critical resource in the world, and it is crucial that we conserve it. That is why the symposium will feature water-efficient fixtures, fittings, and appliances that can reduce water usage and bills. These products can help homeowners and businesses improve their sustainability.
But it’s not just about saving water. The significance of water efficiency goes beyond that. It’s also about ensuring an adequate supply of water for future generations and reducing energy use. It is often forgotten that water-related activities are energy-intensive.
Cybersecurity
As the world becomes increasingly technological, cybersecurity has become an essential part of every industry, including plumbing. The symposium’s cybersecurity discussions will help attendees understand how data privacy impacts the plumbing industry and what steps they can take to protect their businesses.
Water Heating
Traditional water heaters account for up to a quarter of a household’s energy consumption, making their efficiency and effectiveness significant for homeowners. New alternatives, including tankless water heaters, hybrid water heaters, and heat pump water heaters, are now available and can help homeowners save money on their energy bills.
The symposium’s discussions on water heating highlight the various types of water heaters, the benefits they offer, and the different technologies used to improve their efficiency and effectiveness.
Legionella Prevention
Legionella can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a respiratory illness that can be fatal to people with compromised immune systems. Legionella thrives in warm water, so it is crucial to prevent bacterial growth in plumbing systems, particularly in showerheads and faucets.
The symposium’s speakers will discuss preventive measures, including engineering controls, physical controls, and behavioral controls, to prevent Legionella and protect public health.
Plumbing Industry Trends
If you are interested in staying updated with the latest trends and technologies in the plumbing industry, this year’s EWTS is the event for you. Speakers at the symposium will present their research, product offerings, and services, providing ample opportunities to stay on top of what’s new and innovative.
Conclusion
Attending the 8th Emerging Water Technology Symposium is an excellent opportunity for plumbing professionals to stay updated with the latest trends and emerging technologies in the industry. From water efficiency to Legionella prevention, from water heating to cybersecurity and plumbing trends, the symposium’s discussions and presentations promise to provide solutions to emerging challenges in the plumbing industry.
