Tap Into Tomorrow

The tapware industry is becoming a key driver of water efficiency, sustainability, and carbon neutrality, with innovations that reduce water usage while maintaining performance. Aligning with certifications like GreenTag and the WELL Building Standard, these solutions promote water quality, hygiene, and material safety, enabling architects to create healthier, resource-efficient buildings.

Tap Into Tomorrow: Blueprint for a Water-wise, Carbon-neutral Built Environment explores the intersection of innovation and sustainability in tapware. This whitepaper explores how modern smart taps are at the forefront of water efficiency, carbon neutrality, certification and user-led design. For architects and designers, integrating these new tapware solutions is essential for creating high-performing buildings that meet evolving environmental standards and client expectations.

From the global leader in instantly filtered boiling, chilled and sparkling water systems, Billi’s Multifunction Mixer Tap aligns with broader sustainability and efficiency goals, offering a 5-star WELS rating and energy-saving features. Engineered through extensive research, the tap optimises water flow with a redesigned aerator and tap body manifold, while its touch-sensitive UI enhances user control and supports real-time water monitoring. By integrating multiple functions into a single fixture, the tap also promotes space-saving solutions for both residential and commercial applications.

Billi’s Multifunction Mixer Tap not only meets sustainability goals but also sets a new standard in engineering quality and user experience. Previous tapware solutions often required two separate fixtures or relied on off-the-shelf components that lacked design flexibility. The Multifunction Mixer Tap addresses these challenges with a refined engineering approach that resulted in a high tap body with 260mm of clearance, offering greater functionality in compact spaces. The slimmer, continuous arc from spout to outlet provides a sleek, modern aesthetic while optimising water flow. This innovation came after nearly 11 months of focused development, during which the aerator tip, tap body manifold, and spout were redesigned to create a more efficient, space-saving solution that remains fully retrofittable with existing Billi under-bench systems.

Flow meets function: When Billi’s Multifunction Mixer Tap flows into your kitchen and living space, it provides complete control over safety, space-saving, sanitation, and cooking needs for any household. The tap’s aesthetic appeal, combined with energy-efficient manufacturing and smart water management, aligns with what we are seeing in the taps of the future: water efficiency, carbon neutrality, and certification through user-led design. By leveraging data-driven insights, Billi continues to innovate in ways that support resource-efficient buildings and provide architects and specifiers with sustainable, high-performance tapware solutions
