Sloan Valve to “Soak up” Spotlight at
Greenbuild 2007

Platinum Sponsor of Greenbuild to Showcase New Products, Spread Water Conservation Message 

Franklin Park, IL – Sloan Valve Company will challenge Kermit the Frog’s famous words at this year’s Greenbuild International Conference and Expo… it is easy being green!  Sloan, the world’s leading manufacturer of water-conserving plumbing systems, is a platinum sponsor of Greenbuild 2007, the world’s largest conference and expo dedicated to green building, taking place November 7-9 at McCormick Place West in Chicago.

“Water is the most precious natural resource in the world,” said Jim Allen, manager of Sloan’s water-efficiency division and a LEED-accredited professional.  “Being a Platinum sponsor of Greenbuild shows our commitment to providing outstanding products that deliver on the promise of efficiency without sacrificing performance.”

News Splash of New Products
Sloan will introduce six new products at Greenbuild, adding to its established line of energy and water-efficient restroom solutions.  These products include:

  • SOLIS™ Dual-Flush Flushometer: World’s first solar powered Flushometer – with ground breaking efficiency.
  • Sloan 1 Pint Urinal System: Eighty-eight percent water savings over standard urinals. Available with manual or sensor operated valves.
  • SOLISFaucet: Part of the Sloan Solar Series of products – elegant design, unequaled efficiency.
  • SLOAN ECOS™: Dual-Flush Flushometer. Groundbreaking Dual-Flush feature. Easily retrofits to any existing Sloan Valve.
  • SLOAN Graywater System: An industry first. Harvesting water that would go down the drain and use it for toilet flushing.
  • SLOAN SMS Water Management Tool: Sloan Monitored Systems. You can’t manage what you can’t monitor.

The Greening of Sloan
With a comprehensive line of products, Sloan remains the leading manufacturer of “green” plumbing solutions to the world market.  Recently, Sloan proudly accepted the Green Power Leadership Award from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its Green Power Purchase.  Sloan offsets 100 percent of the energy used in its Franklin Park facility with renewable energy – helping to reduce its carbon footprint. 

Sloan Valve is also helping to advance the overall market for green power by showing other manufacturers how they can be an integral part of green building efforts. The company recently supplied the Chicago Center for Green Technology with water-efficient plumbing fixtures to support the center’s goal of helping professionals and homeowners learn about the cost savings and environmental benefits of green technologies.

Moreover, about 89 percent of a Sloan Flushometer is made from brass casting alloy, 99 percent of which is from recycled sources, and is itself completely recyclable or reusable in remodel projects.

Sloan will be in good company, as they join 18,000 building professionals from around the world at this year’s Greenbuild.  The three day conference will feature outstanding educational sessions, renowned speakers, green building tours, special seminars, networking events, and the biggest exhibit hall in Greenbuild history with 850 exhibit booths.
