2027 IAPMO WE•Stand
Technical Committee Voting Member
The need for the WE•Stand is in recognition that with increasing demand, constrained infrastructure and supplies, climate change, and pervasive droughts globally, there is a critical need to reduce water consumption attributed to the built environment through conservation and reuse. With this comes increased risks to public health, safety, and building systems performance.
Recode is an active voting member of the IAPMO WE•Stand technical committee. The proposals below represent Recode's current submissions for consideration in the next code cycle. Each proposal is available as a PDF. To share comments or suggestions on any proposal, please contact Recode directly.
