ENERGY & WATER SAVING.now is an initiative to reduce water and energy consumption in households, communities and businesses. Because: we use the most water in the household for daily showering, washing our hands and in the kitchen. 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 energy consumption, a reduction in household costs and a long-term reduction in CO2 emissions. For example, a 3-person household can save around € 300 per year, as well as 33,000 liters of water, 1,300 kWh of energy and over 400 kg of CO2.
For private individuals, we want to reduce hot water consumption in showers and washbasins - and the energy required for this - quickly and easily by up to 50% using a water-saving shower insert and flow restrictor - without any loss of comfort and without having to change your shower habits or replace the shower head or tap.
Together with companies, municipalities, institutions, clubs and private individuals, we want to reduce hot water consumption in showers and washbasins - and the energy required for this - quickly and easily by up to 50% using water-saving shower inserts and flow restrictors - without any loss of comfort and without having to change your shower habits or replace the shower head or tap.
TOGETHER WE WANT TO REDUCE HOT WATER CONSUMPTION IN 1,000,000 SHOWERS REDUCE.

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:
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.
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.
Only those who participate can save in the long term!
