Leading the Way to Green Building
Working towards sustainability is an ongoing journey for Kohler, and creating water-conserving products has long been a key component. We have a history of looking ahead and doing all we can to ensure the future of our community, and even our world. We honor that tradition by creating a better future. Our global sustainability goal of a net zero carbon and solid waste footprint by 2035 requires committed action right now, so we are focusing our efforts in some key areas:
Eco 0.5L Urinals
Eco 0.5L urinals provide the ultimate in conservation for water-consuming urinals. Featuring advanced eco-friendly technology, KOHLER Eco 0.5L urinals deliver significant water and energy savings.
Water Conservation
0.5L water usage saves 83% more water than the LEED standard of 3L.
Powerful Flush
A powerful flush, along with a special rim hole design, contributes to effective cleaning.
Optimized Trapway
The optimized trapway design further enhances flushing performance.
Calculation: 40 people x 4 times/day x 260 days/year x 3.8L (the flush amount of ordinary urinals) ≈ 150,000L water saved per year
Sensor Faucets (1.9L/minute and 1.3L/minute)
In line with the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED sustainability standards, KOHLER offers water-saving faucets with a standard flow rate of 1.9L/minute, or a customized flow rate of 1.3L/minute. KOHLER’s water-saving sensory faucets deliver efficient and exceptional performance, and can also help engineering projects achieve the LEED green building certification.
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized standard for green buildings. The LEED green building rating system is designed to promote design and construction practices that increase profitability while reducing the negative environmental impacts of buildings and improving occupant health and well-being. Achieving LEED certification is the best way for you to demonstrate that your building project is truly “green.”
*LEED rating system: total water usage 20% reduction, 1 point; 30% reduction, 2 points, 35% reduction, 3 points; 40% reduction, 4 points.
Dual Sensor System
First used in:
STEWARDTM Eco0.5L Touchless Urinal
Distinctive Dual Sensor System
Dual Sensor
Conductivity sensor detects presence of urine or other liquid, while microwave sensor detects the movement of the user. Dual sensor system ensures reliable and accurate flushing.
Eco-friendly
Microwave Sensor:
Detects movement of the user with high accuracy compared to traditional infrared sensors, reducing false actuation
Conductivity Sensor:
Prevents flushing until it detects the presence of urine or other liquid
Hybrid Energy System
The KOHLER Hybrid Energy System was honored with
the Successful Design Award.
It is a first-of-its kind 30-year power solution for sensor faucets.
When combined with Insight
TM technology,
this system provides an environmentally-friendly, virtually maintenance-free electronic faucet. It could be compatible with AC sensor faucets, with simple installation.
STEWARDTM Waterless Urinal Dual Sensor System
Winner of the Red Dot Design Award, KOHLER Waterless Urinals provide outstanding performance and feature innovative, stylish characteristics that integrate a natural ellipse with an architectural feel. The result is a fresh, sleek design not found in traditional urinals.
·Waterless functionality Saves up to 40,000 gallons of water per fixture per year, the ideal fit for LEED certification
·Touch-free use: Provides added hygiene for all users, and absence of flush valve makes it vandal-resistant
·Optimized interior design: Virtually eliminates splashing
·Cartridge-free integrated trapway: Provides enhanced performance and simplifies routine maintenance with no cartridges to plug in or replace
·inimizes odors: Trapway design, combined with KOHLER waterless urinal sealing liquid, minimizes odors more effectively compared to other waterless and water-based models
