Let's save energy & water together - now!

SAVE ENERGY & WATER.now is an initiative to reduce water and energy consumption in households, municipalities and businesses. After all, we use the most water in the household for our daily showers and baths. And after heating, hot water production requires the most energy.

The initiative includes awareness-raising and the implementation of hot water saving campaigns. This goes hand in hand with the conservation of our most valuable resource - water - as well as a reduction in household costs and a long-term reduction in CO2 emissions.

Together with companies, municipalities, institutions, associations and private individuals, we want to reduce hot water consumption in showers and washbasins - and the energy required for this - by up to 50% quickly and easily using water-saving mini-turbines and flow limiters - without any loss of comfort, without having to change your showering habits or replace the shower head.

Our goal:

TOGETHER WE WANT TO REDUCE HOT WATER CONSUMPTION IN 1,000,000 SHOWERS REDUCE.

This results in an annual savings of:

3.2 million GJ Energy

22 million m³ water

290,000 tons of CO2

Facts

Fact 1

Each of us uses 130 liters of water every day for personal hygiene and household chores.

Fact 2

Many showers have a water flow rate of 12-15 liters per minute.

Fact 3

On average, the duration of the shower is about 7 minutes.

Fact 4

After heating, hot water production requires the most energy in the household.

Fact 5

This energy still comes primarily from fossil fuels such as gas and oil.

Fact 6

A household of 3 can save about € 300/year in water and energy costs.

This is how it works

Inform, measure, save

SAVE ENERGY & WATER.now aims to create awareness of how quickly and easily each of us can reduce water and energy consumption without sacrificing comfort.

The initiative is made up of three pillars:

1. INFORM

Let's talk about saving hot water!
Let's inform the population that showering and washing hands use an enormous amount of water and energy and that it is worth saving here. Without much effort and change of showering habits you can reduce hot water consumption by up to 50% without significant loss of comfort - this is not only good for the environment but also for your wallet! Participation in the initiative is completely free of charge for you - in our download area we provide you with material containing initial information that you can pass on to your employees, citizens or club members.

2. MEASUREMENTS

How much water does my shower actually use?
Only those who know how much hot water they use can take targeted measures. You can easily determine your own water consumption in the shower with a bucket test or one of our test bags. We explain exactly how this works in the following video.
Based on this measurement result, our online savings calculator can be used to quickly find out how much energy, water and costs can be saved per year using innovative mini-turbines or special flow limiters for washbasins. For example, a 3-person household can save around €300 a year in water and energy costs. In addition, there is a reduction of 33,000 liters of water, 1,300 kWh of energy and over 400 kg of CO2.
