Created page with "= Aim and benefits = To reduce unregulated water consumption by specifying efficient equipment. == What is unregulated water use? == Unregulated water use is all water use not..."

New page

= Aim and benefits =

To reduce unregulated water consumption by specifying efficient equipment.

== What is unregulated water use? ==

Unregulated water use is all water use not considered by building regulations. Part G of building regulations covers the regulation of water use in dwellings. In the case of non-residential properties, BRE seem to be suggesting that unregulated water use is essentially anything not covered in WAT 01.

These may be things such as swimming pools, irrigation systems, fountains, vehicle wash systems.
