WATER EFFICIENCY

WE1 Rainwater Harvesting

 Innovative technique utilized to harvest rainwater from roof and other above
surfaces to be stored for later use.
 Rainwater harvesting system capture rainwater by directing it from large
surfaces to an underground or over-ground holding tank. The harvested
rainwater is filtered and then pumped directly to the appliances.
 It has many benefits which are :
 Rainwater harvesting helps utilities reduce peak demands during 3
summer months, saving treated water for more important and
appropriate water uses
 It is an excellent source of water for plants and landscape irrigation
since it has no chemicals such as fluoride and chlorine
 Collect rainwater so that it can be re-used as portable water, for cleaning
process, to watering the plant.
 Component
 Roof Gutter
 Water Tank
 Screening Tool

WE2 Water Saving Fittings

Low-flow fixtures can provide the homeowner with significant savings on their water
bill and be offer a sustainable and eco-friendly measure in remodelling or
construction project

Duo-Flush Toilets
 The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA)
estimates that 4,000 gallons of water can
be
saved annually in a residential
household.

 Use duo-flush toilets to provide option to

the
user where use full water for solid waste and
half water for liquid waste.

Water Saving Faucets

 Use water saving faucets where it is provided with sensor which water will
only flow when needed only.

 Installing motion sensor faucets will reduce this kind of waste by stopping

the water flow every time the hands are removed. It is believed that installing
motion sensor faucets can save as much as 30% to 50% on overall water use,
a saving that should not be taken likely both on financial and environmental
cost.
 Shower Head

 Use shower head with small circumference of

flow line. It produce higher water
distribution
and velocity but low water consumption.
Discharge hole are designed to projected
water
more efficient.

 They reduce overall water consumption

which, in the shower, is generally hot water that
costs money to heat. They reduce the amount of
wastewater generated by homes. With less
energy needed to heat water, they also reduce
CO2 emissions.

Urinals Flush System

 Replacing with water sense labelled

flushing
urinals can save between 0.5 and 4.5
gallons per
flush, without sacrificing performance.

 A urinals takes less space, simpler, more

available for males and consumes less
water
than a flush toilet.

 Potentially offering significant financial and

water savings, waterless urinals also offer the
advantage of being more vandal and frost-proof
and less prone to blockage.
WE3 Metering and Leak Detection System

 To detect water leakage, all water sub-meters is linked to energy management

system.
 Install wireless leak detection system to monitor if there is any leaking.
 The condition of the pipe is checked regularly to avoid leaking. 1

WE4 Water Efficient-Irrigation and Landscaping

 Use rainwater to watering all the plants.
 Use native planting when doing landscaping because it requires less
maintenance and irrigation.
 Planting is designed to reduce heat and glare, increase soil permeability and
provide as much greenery as possible.

WE5 Water Recycling

 Install a grey water collection system. It originates from baths, showers and
washing machine for cleaning system and for irrigation system as it contain
nitrogen and phosphorus that benefit to the plant.
