Businesses and other large buildings are generally one of the biggest contributors to CO2 emissions due to intensive pumping and treatment activities. The bigger the building the more water is supplied, and the more water systems have to work to deliver great pressure to higher levels. All of this results in a water system that generates a considerable amount of emissions.
Recent years have seen great advances in energy efficient technologies, as well as clean energy options, all geared towards reducing energy consumption. It is important to recognise that existing water systems must be upgraded in order to decarbonise and reduce the carbon footprint emitted by businesses. New systems, meanwhile, should be designed using all the technological advances brought about by a heightened awareness of climate change in mind.
The Regulations
The water industry is responsible for a relatively high level of current CO2 emissions, while it consumes a huge amount of energy. The Environmental Agency has set out regulations to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings, protecting land, rivers and reservoirs.
Not only do businesses need to use renewable energy sources, but also make a conscious effort to meet requirements by upgrading existing water systems to be more sustainable.
