Roberta J. WittyI’ve been hearing a few reports regarding disaster declarations in facilities that are developed using green building practices. This is an interesting one. The premise is that automatic flush/energy-saving toilets are often not on generator backup. Therefore, local health officials can close the building because of the health risk posed by non-flushing toilets. The enterprise then has a workforce continuity outage and might have to declare a disaster. I thought health codes require a backup system for sanitation systems?
