A roadmap to healthier materials: Trends in the design and manufacturing of drinking water systems

A growing body of research on environmental health has demonstrated that chemicals known or suspected to be harmful to human health are frequently found in commercially available building products. Designers are becoming more informed, demanding healthier building products, and taking the initiative to educate themselves about product certifications. As a result of collaboration across the industry, including with manufacturers, there are more and more products on the market that do not contain harmful chemicals. 

A Roadmap to Healthier Materials: Trends in the Design and Manufacturing of Drinking Water Systems examines these developments and how they impact the design of drinking water systems. The health effects of chromium, lead, and bisphenol A (BPA) are now better understood, resulting in industry- and government-led initiatives to eliminate their use. Some substances, such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which have been used as refrigerants in many types of appliances, are also being phased out due to their global warming potential. 

Driven by a strong research and development team and a commitment to improving health and quality of life, Billi supplies a range of instant boiling and chilled water dispensers that meet strict material health requirements that are continuously developing at a national and international level.
