MORROW, GA.—TOTO, a maker of sustainable plumbing products, announced that it is the first plumbing manufacturer to partner with ecoScorecard and incorporate this service into its product catalog. TOTO believes that this partnership will help its customers—such as building owners, architects, designers, and product specifiers—streamline the time needed to deliver the environmental documentation required to qualify for green building rating systems such as LEED, GGHC Labs 21, CHPS, and the NAHB Green Home Building Guidelines as well as other third-party product certification systems.

These green building rating systems provide third-party verification that a building is designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across the areas that matter most:  water efficiency, energy savings, CO2 emissions reduction, to name but a few.

“TOTO recognized that it took our customers countless hours to search, evaluate, and document our high-efficiency plumbing products’ environmental characteristics and develop the documentation needed for them to qualify under the major green building rating systems,” said Lenora Campos, Ph.D., company spokesperson. “We wanted to simplify this process for them, and ecoScorecard enabled us to put this information at their fingertips—online, up to date, and available 24/7/365.”

A TOTO product’s ecoScorecard includes information such as pre- and post-consumer recycled content, lifecycle analysis status, product and packaging recyclability, and freedom from hazardous metals—for example, lead, mercury, and cadmium. Now, architects, designers, owners and specifiers can immediately access environmental information about TOTO’s products and be assured that the data is current and accurate. In addition, they may immediately print the required product documentation for their green building projects.
