Thrive in Construction Podcast
Showersave’s Technical Manager, Cameron Loggenber, recently joined Darren Evans on the Thrive in Construction podcast to discuss the benefits of Waste Water Heat Recovery Systems (WWHRS) and their role in meeting the Future Homes Standard (FHS) requirements.
During the conversation, Cameron highlighted how WWHRS technology aligns with FHS energy reduction targets, offering a simple yet highly effective way to improve a building’s energy efficiency. Recognised by the BRE in both SAP and SBEM, Showersave’s WWHRS is one of the most cost-effective solutions for achieving Part L compliance. Each Showersave unit recovers up to 60% of heat energy from wastewater, saving over 200kg and above of CO₂ annually, depending on usage.
Beyond its sustainability credentials, Showersave’s WWHRS can reduce energy bills by up to £250 per year for the average household. This makes it particularly valuable for social housing providers, as it helps alleviate financial strain for tenants who may be at risk of fuel poverty.
Installation is straightforward, with most Showersave systems requiring no maintenance and boasting a track record of high reliability. With its superior efficiency and ease of implementation, Showersave’s WWHRS provide homeowners and tenants with a practical, cost-effective way to lower utility bills while ensuring compliance with the UK’s energy efficiency targets.
For commercial developers, Showersave serves as an inexpensive and invaluable insurance policy against unforeseen non-compliance with Part L of dwellings. In the podcast, Cameron shared insights on how commercial buildings have saved up to £90,000 annually using WWHRS technology.
Cameron said: “As the industry adapts to stricter energy performance requirements, housebuilders and homeowners will be looking to the construction market for practical solutions. Showersave provides a proven way to reduce energy costs, improve sustainability and future-proof projects while adhering to FHS requirements.”
Showersave has already been installed in over 170,000 homes across the UK and Europe, gaining popularity among contractors, housing associations and commercial developers.
To learn more, Showersave offers an accredited CPD available both in person and online. This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of WWHRS technology and its benefits for residential and commercial applications.
