The Rippleffect: water efficiency for businesses
The Rippleffect provides your business with a straightforward structured approach to help you to:
- understand how much water your business uses;
- identify simple ways to start saving water and money;
- measure the water and cost savings that you have made; and
- learn about 'quick win' water saving devices.
For example, in companies where the urinals operate without flush control, savings of over £3,800 a year in water and sewerage costs can be achieved by installing passive infrared (PIR) sensors at a cost of around £350 - a payback in just five weeks.
