Founded in 1979 and headquartered in Finland, Evac Group brings over four decades of vacuum know-how to buildings. Best known as the world's leading provider of integrated water and waste management for the maritime industry, we are also a trusted partner to building owners, architects and engineers on land. Over 1 million Evac vacuum toilets have been delivered. For buildings, Evac delivers complete vacuum plumbing systems. Vacuum drainage moves wastewater by pressure difference instead of slope, so small-bore piping can run level, overhead – even upward – and wet rooms go where the floor plan needs them, not where the stack is. ONE SYSTEM, FOUR PRODUCT LINES – Vacuum toilets: wall-hung models such as the Red Dot Award-winning Evac Optima® 7 – just 1.2 L (0.3 gal) per flush – Vacuum interface units: connect sinks, showers and floor drains to the same network – Vacuum collection units: create the vacuum, collect the waste and discharge it to the sewer – even from floors below it – Evac VacuConvert: the first gravity-to-vacuum conversion solution – keep your preferred toilet design WHERE VACUUM CREATES VALUE Adaptive reuse, healthcare, life sciences, mixed-use, retail, infrastructure, below-grade spaces and heritage buildings. Fewer slab penetrations and less demolition, faster, less disruptive construction, sealed and hygienic sanitation, and typically 80–90% less flushing water than gravity toilets. PROVEN IN DEMANDING PROJECTS A listed Saarinen landmark in London re-plumbed with 192 vacuum toilets and 559 interface units. A 72,000-seat stadium in Shanghai with more than 1,000 vacuum toilets. FULL LIFECYCLE SUPPORT Products meet IPC/UPC standards, are NSF-marked and UL-recognized. Evac supports your engineering, installation and inspection teams, commissions the system and backs it with training, spare parts, preventive maintenance and retrofits. Meet us at Booth #314 and at the Innovation Theater on Tuesday, October 13, 11:30 AM.

• Vacuum vs. Gravity: technical article series (Oct 11, 2026)

  Three practical guides for plumbing engineers and architects, from Evac's Vacuum vs. Gravity series on evac.com.

  • What Is a Vacuum Drainage System? – how negative pressure moves wastewater through small-diameter pipes, where it fits and what it saves.
  • Vacuum Drainage vs. Gravity Drainage for Underground and Below-Grade Construction – how bedrock, high water tables and protected structures change the drainage decision.
  • Commercial Plumbing Design Guide: Key Considerations for Engineers and Architects – the project types, standards and sustainability goals that point to gravity or vacuum.

  Each guide also sets out where conventional gravity drainage remains the better choice. Bring your project questions to Booth #314.

• Evac unveils Evac VacuConvert (Oct 11, 2026)

  The first gravity-to-vacuum conversion solution for building conversion and adaptive reuse projects.

  September 18, 2025 – Evac introduced Evac VacuConvert™, an in-wall toilet frame that brings vacuum technology to conventional toilet models. Architects and developers can now combine their preferred modern toilet designs with the full power of vacuum sanitation – freeing layouts, speeding timelines and slashing water use in office-to-apartment projects, below-sewer-level spaces and heritage buildings with strict preservation rules.

  “Conversions often stall on plumbing,” said Jari Pudas, Product Line Manager, Land-based Systems at Evac. “This is the bridge – pair your preferred bowl designs with vacuum, move wet areas where you need them, preserve the structure, and keep the schedule on track.”

  Evac VacuConvert is available worldwide. See it at Booth #314.

• Innovation Theater: Architect's Guide, Oct 13 (Oct 11, 2026)

  Join Evac Group at the ASPE 2026 Innovation Theater.

  Session: Architect's Guide to Vacuum Plumbing for Adaptive Reuse
  When: Tuesday, October 13, 11:30–11:45 AM
  Where: Innovation Theater, ASPE Pavilion, Expo floor
  Speaker: Paul Garner, Sales Manager, Built Environment, Evac Group

  Around one in five US offices stands vacant, and gravity drainage quietly decides where every new bathroom in a conversion can go. In 15 minutes, see how vacuum drainage moves waste by pressure difference instead of slope – so wet rooms follow the floor plan, not the stack – with real conversion projects and straight answers to the questions your client, engineer and code official will ask.

  Continue the conversation at Booth #314.
