How is water conserved?
The houses use about 25% volume water compared to a conventional home. This has not been achieved however through any discernible loss of convenience or comfort, but by simple conservation measures. ‘Building Services Research Association’ (BSRIA) monitored the water use in the homes for almost a year. Water conservation measures include; low flush toilets, flow restrictors in showerheads and showers are used in preference to baths. For more detail see HHP Technical Factsheet TF10: Water Supply.
