Buildings can now earn up to 25 points by implementing a combination of onsite water reuse strategies. We'll break it down for you.
Are your projects ready for LEED v5 updates?
Big news in the world of green buildings: LEED v5 is officially out, marking the program’s most significant update in over a decade. So what’s new? For starters, it’s not just about design; there is now a stronger emphasis on decarbonization, equity, and conservation. This represents a shift toward focusing on a project's overall performance rather than its design.
With LEED v5, buildings can earn up to 25 points through a combination of onsite water reuse strategies. That's 62% of the points needed for LEED Certified. Learn more about these updates and how they could impact your project in our latest blog.
We’re thrilled that Epic Cleantec has been named one of Inc.’s Best Workplaces for the second year in a row! At Epic, we believe that building a strong, values-driven team culture is just as essential as the work we do in water reuse. This recognition from Inc. isn’t just a badge of honor; it’s a reflection of the incredible people behind our mission.
How beer, bourbon, and bold campaigns can change minds
Water scarcity isn’t a future threat…it’s already here. That’s why at Epic, we’re turning wastewater into ultra-purified water that can be reused within buildings for flushing, cooling, irrigation, and yes… occasionally even brewing. To help people wrap their heads (and taste buds) around the idea, we created the Epic OneWater Brew and a limited-edition recycled water bourbon. Read more at our blog or watch a short video.
Like indoor toilets before it, water reuse will redefine the modern building
People once worried that electric lights would disrupt sleep, that flush toilets would spread disease, and that air conditioning would make us weak or ill. Yet with bold experimentation and public education, each of these innovations moved from fringe to fundamental.
As Aaron Tartakovsky writes in Fast Company, Epic is helping shift the narrative around recycled water. Soon, flushing toilets with clean drinking water—instead of recycled water—will seem as outdated as resisting indoor plumbing or air conditioning once did.
