IAPMO Adds ESPRI to Bolster Research and Innovation in Water, Plumbing Systems

The Environmental Science, Policy and Research Institute, an organization dedicated to safeguarding public health through the improved management of building water systems, is the newest addition to The IAPMO Group. ESPRI will become an integral part of IAPMO’s Technical Services and Research team, significantly strengthening IAPMO’s research capabilities.

Founded to address the critical but often overlooked arena of water quality in building water systems, ESPRI has worked to develop best practices for the entire lifecycle of these systems in settings such as multifamily housing, hospitals, office buildings, convention centers, schools, hotels, and museums. Unlike organizations focused solely on drinking water, wastewater, or stormwater, ESPRI fills a unique and vital role in protecting water quality within buildings themselves.

ESPRI has built its success through a collaborative approach, partnering with building owners and managers, water utilities, regulatory agencies and occupants to promote public health and water safety. Its leadership includes experts with decades of experience in environmental science and water system management. ESPRI has worked with organizations including the Water Research Foundation, the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators, the American Water Works Association and the Environmental Protection Agency.
