Student Accomodation York
With extensive experience in developing new residential properties and a wider master plan to create a new carbon-zero student community in York, the developer of this new student accommodation turned to rainwater harvesting to provide a low-carbon supply of recycled rainwater for occupants. The developer was also familiar with the high water consumption associated with this type of property; therefore achieving high water savings was essential.
Naturally, the developer turned to Stormsaver to provide a reliable solution for collecting, storing, and recycling rainwater for reuse within the 220 studio apartments. The reliable solution came in the form of our Non Pressurised Rainwater Harvesting System. This system type enabled the developer to reap all the benefits of rainwater harvesting in a highly reliable solution that could still provide a water supply in the event of a failure scenario.
Having successfully operated for several years, the development has saved over 6 million litres of water by using perfectly clean rainwater from their roof area for toilet flushing. The UK-manufactured system from Stormsaver has also proven to stand the test of time with minimal component replacements being required during the operating life of the system. Our expert team has provided planned maintenance services to the site for several years, enabling even greater water savings.
