Bobrick Green

A Foundational Responsibility to Protect the Environment

At Bobrick, we are committed to environmental sustainability in global product design, manufacturing and operations. We are also committed to assisting our clients in the planning and implementation of a sustainable building and operating
strategy. Bobrick products not only help contribute to the LEED certification program but also support long-term operating cost reductions and social responsibility.

Bobrick’s headquarters in North Hollywood, CA is a LEED® Gold-certified facility. Our 100,000 square foot campus features rooftop solar panels, photometric sensors and electric vehicle charging stations.

Authentic Sustainability

Bobrick advocates for an “authentically sustainable” approach to commercial restroom design. Designing restrooms for sustainable operation requires unique strategies beyond those typically associated with green building. Sustainable operation is
closely associated with economical operation, providing design professionals with opportunities to support their clients’ long-term business goals.

Through thoughtful product selection that takes into consideration energy costs, battery usage, waste and usage of consumables, commercial restrooms will not only operate sustainably and cost-effectively, but also retain the integrity of the
architect’s aesthetic vision.

To learn more, take our AIA/CES Continuing Education course, “Designing Restrooms for Sustainable Operation.” Contact your architectural representative
to schedule a learning session.
