Balancing Costs & Authentic Sustainability

rest room sustainability

All buildings should be designed with sustainability in mind every step of the way. Not only is it friendlier to the environment, but sustainable operation is closely linked to economical operation and long-term business goals for the building owner.

A 2015 study showed a statistical link between tenant satisfaction and sustainability efforts involving cost savings from energy and other forms of conservation. In addition, a study conducted in 2017 revealed that nearly one in 10 millennials would quit their jobs if they found out their current employer was not sustainable. Working toward authentic sustainability isn’t just good for the environment—it’s good for business, too.

Communicating the Value of Sustainability

There is strong demand for sustainable restrooms, and to achieve authentic long-term sustainability, we must consider a variety of factors and solutions.  

Understanding and communicating the operating value of each product, including measurable cost and resource savings, can be the deciding factor in choosing the correct product. 

Zone and Bobrick have a range of resources to assist.  Link to the cost savings calculator here for the B-823 Universal Manufal Soap Dispenser.
