Water is a valuable resource, yet we take it for granted all too often. Whether your business is large or small, it can only benefit from using water efficiently.
According to South Staffordshire Water, an average office-based business will likely use water in the following ways:
- Toilet Flushing – 43%
- Washing – 27%
- Urinal Flushing – 20%
- Canteen – 9%
- Cleaning – 1%
Bathrooms and washrooms account for the majority of water use; therefore, water-efficient WC’s and cisterns will play a key role in reducing water consumption in your business.
Trade Washrooms is committed to helping customers identify water-efficient products by promoting the Unified Water Label on applicable products. When installed and used correctly, these products will use less water, save energy and save money.
What is the Unified Water Label?
The Unified Water Label is a broad initiative by companies involved in the bathroom industry. The Unified Water Label provides a means to identify water-using products with a common label that offers clear, concise and easy to understand messaging about water energy usage.
The label below shows the actual performance of the 4/2.6 litre dual-flush Intra Concealed Cistern, just one of the water-efficient products available from Trade Washrooms.
Why does it matter?
Businesses need to be aware of efficient bathroom products that are fit for purpose and deliver no less performance yet use less water and energy. The comparative information on the volumes of water used between similar products helps businesses to choose more water-efficient products.
