Roof Drains are a valuable component of a buildings structure when considering the functions they perform. Roof Drains remove rainwater from the
roof in many ways such as simply sending the rainwater through a gutter to the ground or the roof drain may serve as a means of channeling the rainwater from
the roof to a rainwater harvesting system which can be used to collect the rainwater from the roof and channel the water to objects such as a cistern which
would serve as a holding tank for the rainwater which could then be used at a later time for many applications such as irrigation or the rainwater could be
filtered through a systems such as an ultraviolet ray purification system to be used in consumable applications such as washing machines, dishwashers or if
filtered properly, human consumption! Rainwater Harvesting Systems qualify for LEEDS Points as part of the GREEN Building
Project. The LEED TM (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) Green Building Rating System™
was devised as a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. LEED was initially created
by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to establish a common measurement to define “green building.”
As water become a more valuable resource, we will continue to find ways to preserve and/or recycle our water supplies.
Obviously as the population of this county and the world continue to grow, water
WILL BECOME A MORE VALUABLE RESOURCE. Roof Drains are an excellent way to maximize a small investment in construction cost(s) as part of a water recycling
effort which will likely become significantly valuable for generations. Consider Siphonic Roof Drains as an alternative approach to traditional roof drains.
Siphonic Roof Drainage systems are now the standard in roof drainage systems in Europe and rapidly expanding to the United States.
