Rainwater Harvesting for schools, universities, and colleges
Stormsaver have many systems installed in schools and universities across the UK. With large roof areas and many toilets to flush, these institutions are perfect to have rainwater harvesting systems installed.
The size of tanks, pumps used, and types of filters depend on the design and size of the institution. In this environment, the rainwater is most likely going to supply water to many toilets (non-potable appliance). Therefore, it is important that the right system is installed to meet the demand and ensure the rainwater is used effectively… and that is something we can guarantee here at Stormsaver.
The benefits for educational establishments, are:
- It helps to preserve the environment by recycling the rainwater (one of our sites managed to recycle 3,983,000 litres of water over 8 years)
- It helps to save money – a reduced mains water bill (one of our sites saved £1533.00 off their mains water bill every year)
- It is beneficial for students as they can see sustainable technology in action and the impact it can make (One of our sites was able to save 1,135kg CO2e).
- Your building will gain BREEAM points by implementing water conservation measures through rainwater recycling
- Will help to reduce the risk of flooding
Rainwater harvesting and education
Rainwater harvesting helps to encourage an environmentally responsible attitude in the next generation. In addition to this, the systems can have monitoring displays which helps to combine rainwater harvesting with the national curriculum. Here at Stormsaver, we also have an education package available which can help you to integrate rainwater harvesting onto teaching! If this is something you’re interested in, contact our team.
