Rainwater HOG receives Building Green’s Top 10 Award for 2008

2008-11-24T16:52:00.001-08:00

vivo congratulates Rainwater HOG as Top Ten recipient at GreenBuild.

vivo was in Boston this week at the US Green Building Council's GreenBuild Conference for the announcement by Building Green, the publisher of the GreenSpec® Directory and Environmental Building News™, of its Top-10 Green Building Products for 2008.

The award presentation recognized Rainwater HOG's Rainwater Rescue and Storage Solution, a water conservation and stormwater management solution, provided by vivo in Canada.

Rainwater HOG LLC won the Award for dedicating development, time, money and resources to a way that supports a commitment to environmental responsibility.

"Our selections of the Top-10 Green Building Products represent a wide range of product types in many different application areas," noted BuildingGreen president Alex Wilson. "Water saving products are represented by a line of rainwater storage tanks — the first rainwater storage equipment ever recognized in our Top-10 lists."

BuildingGreen's Top-10 product selections, as in previous years, are drawn from new additions to the company's GreenSpec product directory. More than 200 product listings have been added to the GreenSpec database during the past year. "New products seem to be appearing all the time, making it a challenge for our staff to keep up,"said Wilson. The GreenSpec database the company maintains now includes more than 2,000 product listings.

About GreenSpec

GreenSpec is the leading national directory of green building products. Products are selected by editors of Environmental Building News (EBN) based on criteria developed over the past 15 years. Manufacturers do not pay to be listed in GreenSpec, and neither GreenSpec nor Environmental Building News carries advertising. "Our policy of not accepting money from manufacturers allows us to be objective in our review of products," said Wilson. The GreenSpec product database is also available online as part of BuildingGreen Suite. Environmental Building News, founded in 1992, is the oldest and most widely respected newsletter in the green building field. BuildingGreen LLC, celebrates its 23rd year in business this year.
