The collection of house plans will include several water-saving and sustainable solutions from Danze such as:
- Water-saving lavatory faucets. These offer a 30+ percent savings in water over traditional faucets, operating at 1.5 gallons per minute and meeting California and Vermont low-lead legislation requirements.
- High-efficiency toilets. Another impactful way to reduce water usage in the home. These toilets operate at 1.28 gallons per flush and can reduce water consumption by more than 20 percent per toilet.
- FSC-certified bath furniture. Several bath vanities, mirrors and other wood-based products from Danze are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, which promotes sustainable forestry.
- Water-saving showerheads. According to the EPA, the average household could save 2,300 gallons of water each year by installing WaterSense-labeled showerheads. These new house plans will address water-saving showerhead options. High-performing options that flow at 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 gallons per minute are available from Danze.
