The 1 Minute Water Certificate Calculation

Did you know that, as a nation, our water use isn’t sustainable? On average we use 150 litres of water per person, per day and this is putting pressure on the water available in the UK; this will only get worse as climate change develops further.

This is why it's important we reduce our consumption by having house builders and designers consider water efficiency during development.  The Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) encourages everyone to use less water.

A Water Efficiency Certificate is often required for building regulations approval. It demonstrates that your property meets the water efficiency requirements set by local authorities, ensuring compliance with Building Regulation and other standards such as the Part G Compliance Certificate in the UK.

The EasyWaterCalc tool is designed to provide highly accurate water calculations for building control, based on various inputs such as the number of occupants and the types of fixtures used. This accuracy ensures that your property can meet the necessary standards for obtaining a Water Efficiency Certificate.

Once you've completed the calculation using the EasyWaterCalc tool, your Water Efficiency Certificate will be available immediately. The exact duration of the water efficiency calculation can vary depending on the specifics of your project, but our process is designed to be quick and efficient.

Using the EasyWaterCalc service not only helps you meet regulatory requirements, such as obtaining a Water Consumption Certificate or Building Regulation Water Certificate, but also promotes water conservation. By accurately calculating water usage, you can make informed decisions to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and contribute to environmental sustainability.

After using the Water Consumption Calculator, the results will indicate whether your property meets the necessary water efficiency standards required for compliance with regulations like the Part G Compliance Certificate or Building Regulation Water Certificate. If the results show that your property is not compliant, you can make adjustments to improve efficiency and then recalculate.

If your property's water usage exceeds the recommended limits, the Water Consumption Calculator will highlight the areas that need improvement. You can then make adjustments to fixtures or water usage practices to bring your property into compliance before obtaining your Water Consumption Certificate.
