Spec-Ready Innovation: How Fontana Faucets Fit into LEED-Certified Architectural Plans

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the gold standard for green building certifications worldwide. For developers aiming to achieve LEED credits, every product selection counts—and restrooms, often overlooked, offer a surprisingly impactful opportunity to improve water efficiency and reduce environmental footprint.

That’s where Fontana Faucets come in. Our entire product line of commercial touchless faucets is engineered to meet or exceed the Water Efficiency (WE) credits under LEED v4.1, delivering reduced flow rates, timed shutoffs, and smart usage tracking options. Whether it’s a hospital, airport, university, or government building, our faucets help projects hit those water conservation goals—without compromising on performance or user experience.

Architects don’t just look for style—they need reliable, code-compliant, easily specifiable solutions that fit into BIM files, project bids, and architectural plans. That’s why we’ve curated our collection of Fontana Faucets specifically with architects and engineers in mind.

Each product page at CommercialTouchlessFaucets.com includes:

• CSI 3-Part Specifications for easy download
• Revit/BIM files for digital integration
• ADA-compliance details for inclusive design
• Lead-Free and WaterSense labels where applicable

This documentation ensures seamless integration into architectural specs, helping professionals stay on track with code requirements and LEED targets. By eliminating ambiguity, our faucets reduce RFIs and accelerate the submittal process—making life easier from concept through construction.

Fontana’s touchless faucets use infrared sensor activation to eliminate physical contact, enhancing hygiene in high-traffic commercial environments. But what sets these faucets apart is their combination of durability and digital intelligence.

Many models come equipped with features like:

• Adjustable flow rates and detection zones
• Self-diagnostic systems
• Battery or hardwired options
• Temperature control integration
• Low lead brass construction

Smart sensors ensure water only flows when needed, dramatically reducing waste. Some units even support IoT-compatible modules, allowing facilities teams to remotely monitor usage and detect malfunctions—ideal for smart building applications seeking WELL or LEED certifications.

We understand that no two buildings—or projects—are the same. That’s why our Fontana line includes a broad spectrum of designs, finishes, and mounting styles that cater to diverse aesthetics and functionality demands. Whether you’re specifying fixtures for a luxury hotel, a high-throughput transportation hub, or a LEED Platinum university building, we’ve got faucet solutions to match.

Popular models include:

• Wall-mounted sensor faucets with hidden installations for minimalist appeal
• Deck-mounted units for traditional and transitional settings
• High arc and waterfall faucets for upscale or spa-inspired environments
• Antimicrobial and brushed stainless finishes ideal for healthcare or food service

With customization options and volume-order flexibility, we support both small-scale renovations and multi-phase institutional builds.

Fontana Faucets contribute directly to earning points in key LEED categories, especially:

✅ Water Efficiency (WE)

• Flow rates as low as 0.35 GPM
• EPA WaterSense compliance
• Sensor-based shutoff to prevent waste

✅ Materials and Resources (MR)

• Durable, lead-free brass materials
• Long lifecycle and minimal maintenance

✅ Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ)

• Touchless activation reduces germ spread and enhances occupant health
• Quiet operation improves user comfort

By simplifying the selection of LEED-aligned plumbing products, we enable project teams to focus more on creative execution and less on compliance paperwork.
