Water – Don’t waste a drop

Sustainable water use in the office

Francis Binney Environmental Officer, RBC Wealth Management

Water – Why Worry? › Jersey Water predicts that as an island we are likely to see significant water shortages within the next 25 years: – Demand is likely to increase by up to 25% – While supply is predicted to decrease by 11%

› Rainfall patterns are also changing to a more pronounced drought and flood model.

– Intense dry spells harden the ground – Heavy rains wash over land and into storm drains

Do we really use that much? › Average water consumption is 150 litres / day.

– Around 30 litres of that is in the office.

› At RBC WM in 2008 each member of staff used an average of 7.5 metric tonnes of water.

– For the office this adds up to over 7000 tonnes in a single year.

› That’s roughly three Olympic swimming pools down our drains each year.

How & where we can make a difference

Average UK office water use

Areas of focus › › › › › ›

Kitchens Toilets Showers Business operations Education & Awareness Rainwater harvesting & Flood control

Office Kitchens › Fitting spray taps – traditional taps use up to nine litres / min › Is it better to bin or to wash?

› A dripping tap can waste 5000 litres of water a year › What does bottled water in your boardroom say about you?

Showers

› Aerating show heads can reduce water use by up to 80% without a loss in pressure.

› Shower timers give people and target length of time for their shower to try and beat after cycling to work

Toilets › Have you ever used a waterless urinal? › Flush-wiser reduces water use by up to 90% › Most current cisterns use 50 – 70% less water than those installed 10 years or more ago, is it time you updated? › As well as saving water senor taps have hygiene benefits

Business operations Your car doesn’t need to bathe in drinking water › Rainwater collected from your office roof can be used for several things: – – – –

Washing your vehicle fleet Cleaning pavements, courtyards and building entrances Washing windows Watering plants

› For real innovation why not be the first office in Jersey to have a duel water system using rainwater to flush toilets?

Education and Awareness › Technology isn’t the solution – your staff are.

– Measure consumption from your bill – Set targets 4.4 m3 / FTE / Year by 2015 – Run competitions between departments – Water champions in each departments – Report on progress and reward success

Water harvesting and flood control Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems

So where is the best place to start working on saving water?

Install a Hippo in your loo For a 300 person office with pre 2001 cisterns: Cost of 50 units = ÂŁ62 Installation = 2 mins/ unit

Savings in 1 year: 375 tonnes of water ÂŁ874 on your water bill
