CSH water savings!
Dated: 03/03/2009
New water-efficient range to meet Code for Sustainable Homes requirements
Specialist sustainable building products
supplier Green Building Store is launching at Ecobuild (Tuesday 3rd March 2009)
a new package of water-saving products which can help specifiers achieve Level
3 & 4 in the Water category of Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH). Green
Building Store's CSH package contains water-saving WCs, wash basin taps,
kitchen taps, shower fittings and baths and can reduce water consumption to
less than 103 litres/person/day.
The Code for Sustainable Homes contains mandatory requirements for water
consumption. To attain levels 3 & 4 of the Code, homes must have a target
water consumption of less than (or equal to) 105 litres/ person/ day. Green
Building Store's CSH package uses a judicious combination of water saving
technologies to help specifiers meet this goal easily.
The new Ecocomfort bath, introduced by Green Building Store as part of the CSH
pack, offers a robust commonsense solution to water-efficiency. Designed to
contain only 140 litres when filled to capacity, it has been carefully designed
to taper to fit the human form, offering a perfectly adequate but reduced
volume bath. The Ecocomfort bath can help specifiers who don't want to get rid
of baths altogether but who are working to the strict requirements of the Code.
Other elements of the CSH package have also been designed to offer robust and
long-lasting water savings. Green Building Store favours the use of leak-free
ES4 siphon flush WCs over valve flush WCs which can leak water imperceptibly
down the back of WC pan when the valve fails or wears out. It also aims to
offer products which are not obviously water-efficient in performance - in
other words products which can be used without causing user frustration or
feelings of inadequate flow. For example, 6 litre shower aerators in the CSH
pack are designed to offer the feeling of a powerful shower, while kitchen taps
offer a high enough flow rate for washing up or filling a kettle.
A full list of products in the CSH Level 3 & 4 package can be downloaded
from: www.greenbuildingstore.co.uk/brochures/CSH.pdf .
Green Building Store's water-efficient products and CSH Level 4 package
(including Ecocomfort bath) will be showcased at Ecobuild the sustainable design exhibition (Earl's Court,
London 3 - 5 March, Green Building Store, stand 1833).
