One dripping tap can use 5,500 litres of water every year! Regardless of the size of your business, improving water efficiency can make a massive difference to both your annual water and energy bills. This is something our customers benefit from when taking up our comprehensive water efficiency service - an EcoMOT.

With that in mind, Let's take a look at how we've helped one of our current customers, Beaconside Sports & Fitness Centre in Stafford.

    

Client: Beaconside Sports & Fitness Centre

 

Summary

We visited Beaconside Sports & Fitness Centre to review where savings could be made on bills, energy and CO2. Whilst on site, our technician installed some retrofit products to immediately reduce water consumption on a selection of assets. These interventions delivered an instant and tangible impact on water usage. Additionally, we found scope for significant savings with further upgrades.

 

 

The interventions made on the day achieved:

across the 19 assets upgraded

21%

water reduction

61%

energy reduction

46%

carbon reduction

 

Annual savings already achieved:

Bills£2,131 
Water1,514,180Litres
Energy3,985KWh
Carbon0.88equivalent CO2  tonnes

 

Recommended upgrades

Alongside the above ‘quick wins’, huge potential for saving was found with further upgrades. Inefficient flow rates were found on 20 showers and all taps on site, some taps were leaking and two urinals were found to be inefficient. With our proposed solutions, Beaconside could boost the above savings to 47% water reduction, 49% energy reduction and 49% carbon reduction accross the 47 assets upgraded.

 

Annually, this equates to savings of:

Bills£22,091 
Water3,565,080Litres
Energy58,462KWh
Carbon11.86equivalent CO2  tonnes

 

The cost for this project work comes in at £11,423, meaning Beaconside will get their money back in a mere six months!
