SHOWER-SAVE IS NOW SAP APPENDIX Q ELIGIBLE !
Following extensive testing and analysis BRE have decided to make Shower-Save 'Appendix Q eligible'.
This means that the large energy, carbon and running cost savings which Shower-Save can make can now be accurately calculated as part of the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP). This will improve DEA carbon ratings for new build as well as helping to achieve high levels under the Code for Sustainable Homes; for example Level 3 for social housing projects.
SAP Assessors can download the relevant spreadsheet for Shower-Save from the Appendix Q website which is at:
www.sap-appendixq.org.uk
Shower-Save has been classified as a Waste Water Heat Recovery System (WWHRS) so will be found under that section heading on the menu called "How to use the data", towards the bottom of the page.
For example, using the Appendix Q calculation it is estimated that a Recoh-vert in a 100 square meter house, could save 1061kWh of gas, which is comparable to a small solar hot water heating system.
