A primary school in Pilsen, Czechia. The initial measurement found outlets running at around 16 litres a minute with no restrictor of any kind — and that is exactly where the room for the highest percentage saving we have on record came from.
The initial measurement at the school showed a flow of around 16 litres a minute — with no restrictor of any kind. That is roughly four times what a basin needs. After fitting, water use fell by 27.58 %, the highest percentage in our portfolio.
The school has the highest percentage saving in the whole pilot, but not the highest amount: ≈ 4 490 € (110,030 CZK) a year against a contract value of ≈ 6 050 € (148,304 CZK). A school heats a smaller share of the water it draws than a residential facility does — heat here fell by 13.89 %, whereas in the care home it fell by 26.37 %.
We measure the actual flows and calculate how much of them runs away unused.
