Vacuum Wastewater and Adaptive Reuse Lunch & Learn

Connect over lunch for an engaging discussion on how vacuum wastewater technology is transforming adaptive reuse and modern building design at our Vacuum Wastewater & Adaptive Reuse Lunch & Learn, featuring Evac.

With more than 40 years of experience, Evac has been helping building projects overcome site-specific challenges through innovative vacuum wastewater collection systems. Originally adapted from the transportation industry, this versatile technology offers a powerful alternative to traditional gravity systems—delivering flexibility, significant water savings, and strong sustainability performance for both new construction and adaptive reuse projects.

Join us for an informative presentation exploring how vacuum wastewater systems can support historic renovations, complex retrofits, and high-performance commercial buildings. Learn how these systems contribute to green building certifications such as LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, and HQE, while helping future-proof buildings against evolving regulations and rising water, waste, and carbon costs.

Lunch will be provided, along with opportunities to ask questions and connect with fellow industry professionals.

What to Expect:

• Vacuum Wastewater 101: An introduction to vacuum plumbing systems for new construction, adaptive reuse, and historic buildings
• System Components Explained: Overview of vacuum generators, interface valves, plumbing fixtures, and how they work together
• Design & Planning Guidance: Key considerations, design flexibility, and the right questions to ask when evaluating vacuum wastewater solutions
• Smarter Plumbing Design: Learn how vacuum systems enable flexible piping layouts, eliminate vent piping, and simplify challenging retrofits
• Health & Safety Benefits: How vacuum wastewater systems help reduce the spread of viruses and bacteria—especially relevant for healthcare and high-occupancy buildings
• Sustainability & Savings: Energy and water savings that support LEED, BREEAM, and other green building certifications
• Real-World Applications: Adaptive reuse solutions and completed project examples from across the United States

This event is ideal for architects, engineers, developers, property managers, sustainability professionals, and anyone working on adaptive reuse or high-performance commercial building projects.
