Event Description

When designing a restroom, professionals are often faced with the challenge of selecting materials that are durable, hygienic, and sustainable. Join us in this one-hour course as we explore practical solutions to combat the threat of infectious bacteria on surfaces in restrooms, focusing on the human and environmental health benefits of combining germ-resistant HDPE and bactericidal copper products. Professionals will not only learn how to design a cleaner and healthier environment but also why product transparency and responsible manufacturing are important considerations when specifying for restrooms.

Learning Objectives: 

1. Recognize the threat of infectious bacteria on high-touch surfaces in restrooms, focusing on the harmthat infected partitions and handles can have on occupants’ health
2. Describe the safe and sustainable characteristics of HDPE and explain how it promotes a healthierenvironment for building occupants
3. Illustrate the efficacy of copper at inhibiting infectious bacteria and compare it to other materialsthat claim antimicrobial properties
4. Evaluate the sustainable practices of manufacturers in order to specify quality HDPE + Copper productsthat are safe for both the environment and occupants
