Committing to our environment. MOEN HAS INSTITUTED A STRATEGY TO ADDRESS ALL ASPECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND EMBRACE SUSTAINABILITY IN ALL FACETS OF OUR BUSINESS. Pollution prevention, energy conservation and other environmental initiatives are a few of the many ways we look to lessen our impact on the Earth. Highlights of efforts that extend beyond creating efficient products include: PARTNERSHIPS Moen seeks out memberships with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), United States Green Building Council (USGBC), Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) and the National Association...

Partnering for a purpose. To further our role as industry leaders in outstanding sustainability practices, Moen has established partnerships with many environmental organizations and building councils. The USGBC developed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building Rating System™ as a nationally accepted benchmark for measuring and documenting green building practices. A building project will attain LEED certification by earning points for each conservation element included in the building. With regard to water conservation, one LEED point can be earned for a...

[6 ] BATH FAUCETS Optimizing water flow without sacrificing performance, many of our new bath faucets feature a 1.5 gallon per minute (gpm)/5.7 liters per minute (lpm) flow rate.The result is water conservation of up to 32%,WaterSense® labeling and contribution towards maximizing LEED® points. FLOW-OPTIMIZED SHOWERHEADS A 10-minute shower can use between 25 and 50 gallons (95 to 189 litres) of water. That’s because typical high-flow showerhead valves use between 6 to 10 gpm (23 to 38 lpm). Moen flow-optimized showerheads use 30% less water while contributing towards maximizing LEED points....

FILTRATION Plastic water bottles are becoming more of a problem to our global environment every day. Earth-conscious consumers can now turn to AquaSuite®, our single-handle filtering butler faucet. It’s installed in a single hole adjacent to the primary faucet and provides a quick source for filtered water. HANDS-FREE All of our hands-free faucets are activated by infrared sensors and control water flow for maximum water and energy savings.

FLOW-OPTIMIZED AERATORS Faucet aerators force air into the water stream to maintain pressure. In addition to maintaining rinsing efficiency, these aerators restrict flow from the standard 2.2 gpm (8.3 lpm) to 1.5 gpm (5.7 lpm), effectively using 32% less water. They are simple add-ons that can make any faucet compliant with many program certification standards. COMMERCIAL HEAVY-DUTY FAUCETS WITH ULTRA-LOW FLOW...
