Water

As with all energy bills, the cost of water is rising and saving water for businesses can impact significantly on energy bills as well as helping the environment by reduced usage.

There are many simple things you can do to save water in your business just as you would do in your home including:

• Air conditioning systems
• Rainwater Harvesting
• Water meters
• Micro Hydro Turbines
• Heater Tank Systems
• On demand hot and cold water
• Water saving devices for toilets
• Water Butts

The first step is to start with a water usage audit to establish where water is used within your organisation.

• Evaluate - establish where you are using the water in your business and set water saving baselines
• Plan - set your goals and targets for reducing your water usage and the financial savings (part of your carbon management plan)
• Implement - new technologies and changes to your infrastructure
• Measure - measure and test effectiveness
• Communicate - realise the full value of saving water and the positive effect on the environment
