Uponor Systems provide
innovative solutions to assist
you in achieving your goals
with a number of the
popular green building
standards, guidelines
and rating scales.
• Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is
favorable in comparison to
copper
• Expedites hot water delivery
and reduces water waste
• Less stand-by water within the
tubing than copper systems
which reduces energy waste
• Walls of the tubing provide
better insulation than copper
• Tubing does not affect the
water quality
• Less energy required to achieve
better thermal comfort at a
lower thermostat setting
• Water has 3,500 times the
energy transport capacity of air
• Adaptable to various energy
efficient heat sources
• Aides (IEQ) Indoor
Environmental Quality
• Eliminates noise because it is
not a fan based system
• Safeguards lives
• Protects structures from fire
damage
• Conserves water
• Eliminates the ground
contamination that occurs
when fire fighters use
hundreds of gallons of water
to extinguish a fire resulting
in hazardous run-off
• Less air-pollution
• No torches, glues or solvents
required
• Durable tubing proven by
over three decades of
intense testing
• More freeze resistant than
copper or CPVC
• Reduces noise by eliminating
the water hammer effect
• Durable tubing proven by
over three decades of intense
testing
• Reduces building materials
required for concealing
ductwork and compensating
ceiling heights
• Provides more usable area
which allows for smaller spaces
without sacrificing livability
• Saves infrastructure materials
by allowing for higher density
construction
• Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of
PEX is favorable in comparison
to copper
• Durable tubing proven by
over three decades of intense
testing
• No torches, glues or solvents
required
