Evac updates vacuum solutions portfolio for building conversion and adaptive reuse projects
The upgraded Evac portfolio delivers unmatched design freedom, faster timelines, and up to 90% water savings for the global shift from new builds to smarter reuse.
Evac today announced a comprehensive portfolio of vacuum plumbing solutions designed to power the next wave of building conversions and adaptive reuse. As cities face rising residential demand, shrinking office utilization, and ambitious renovation targets, Evac enables architects and developers to transform existing properties faster, more sustainably, and without compromise.
“Big opportunities often come from solving everyday problems more efficiently than current options. The underdog who brings that solution usually faces strong resistance from the incumbent. In plumbing, gravity has long been this incumbent – but it is invasive, expensive, and slow. Our updated portfolio proves that vacuum technology is made for this moment, giving customers the flexibility, speed, and sustainability they need to meet the demands of modern reuse,” said Björn Ullbro, CEO of Evac Group.
Why vacuum is the smarter choice today
- Design without limits: No pitch, no slab, no roof vents. Enable modern layouts while preserving historic architecture.
- Renovate without demolition: Avoid shutdowns and heavy excavation; cut raw material use and finish projects 15–20% faster at lower cost.
- Save up to 90% water: Slash consumption and treatment needs; streamline green certifications.
A comprehensive portfolio built for ultimate design flexibility
- Evac VacuConvert™: First gravity-to-vaccuum conversion solution that brings vacuum performance to conventional toilets with minimal disruption.
- Evac Optima® Vacuum Toilet: Uses as little as 0.5 L/flush, reducing water use by up to 90%.
- Evac Vacuum Interface Unit: The intelligent link between fixtures and the vacuum network.
- Evac HQE Collection Unit: Centralized collection and vacuum generation; reliable discharge to sewer.
“Vacuum changes the constraints equation,” said Jari Pudas, Product Line Manager, Land-based Systems at Evac. “It lets you move wet areas, reconfigure floorplates, and keep buildings operational – all while giving existing properties an entirely new life and dramatically cutting water use and material demand.”
