Showering: Smarter, Better, Cleaner

A discussion in honor of the EPA’s #ShowerBetter Month hosted and sponsored by Ferguson.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is encouraging consumers to “shower better” this October by considering WaterSense® labeled showerheads as a way to save water and energy while ensuring a satisfying shower. The shower is where many Americans wake up in the morning or unwind after a long day, but it can also be a place where water, energy and money are sent down the drain. By replacing just one showerhead with a WaterSense® labeled model, EPA estimates the average family can save 2,900 gal of water, the amount of electricity needed to power its home for 13 days and more than $70 in energy and water costs every year.

Ferguson’s KBtribechat Questions:

1. What are some recent trends or customer requests when it comes to showering?

2. Can you immediately tell a shower client from a bath client?

3. Are your clients educated beyond a label when it comes to selecting plumbing products for their home? Are customers educated on what the WaterSense® label means?

4. In particular to showering – Are you still battling misconceptions around rainheads? What does it mean to have a low-flow showerhead?

5. Are environment-friendly labels driving your customers’ purchasing decisions when it comes to showering?

6.How do you balance local / state regulation with your client’s desire to have the ultimate showering experience?

7. How comfortable / receptive are your clients with technology in the shower?

8. What is the next step for clients who are receptive to / interested in making a environmentally-conscious decision when selecting showering product? What’s after WaterSense®?

Think outside the Icebox

– a discussion about design inspiration and the creative process hosted and sponsored by Ferguson and Whirlpool –

“What was the inspiration behind this project?” is a question heard throughout the design industry; and the answer is always unique. Perhaps this is because a designer’s aesthetic is shaped by their every day, personal experiences – whether a brightly colored leaf noticed during an afternoon walk or a beautiful patterned dress spotted at dinner. These small inspirations then influence the creative process and ultimately the end result.

The same is true in kitchen and bath design, an industry where trends are continually evolving as new materials, finishes and technologies are introduced.

Join us for a discussion on inspiration and the creative design process. Also in attendance will be Jessica McConnell, Lead Designer – Color Finish and Materials from Whirlpool’s Design team, who will share the creative process behind Whirlpool’s Black and White Ice collections.
