How Alternative Water Sources Like Rainwater and HVAC Condensate Reduce Risk for Facility Managers (BUILDINGS)

Facility managers are increasingly integrating onsite rainwater and condensate systems as core infrastructure to support non-potable needs, improve operational continuity during water shortages, and comply with evolving water regulations, especially in high-demand building types.

Chief Commercial Officer at Epic Cleantec, Eric Hough, explained how the long-standing assumption that potable water is and will remain inexpensive, readily available, and dependable is no longer true. “For decades, it was simpler to rely entirely on centralized water systems than it was to design for alternative sources,” Hough said.  “Since rainwater and HVAC condensate don’t fit neatly into that centralized framework, they were treated as optional sustainability features rather than core building systems.”
