Water Efficiency Calculations
What are Water Efficiency Calculations?
Part G of the UK building regulations states that all new dwellings (both new build and newly
converted) must achieve a projected water consumption of no more than 110 or 125 litres per
person, per day (depending on your location).
The water consumption of a dwelling is calculated by a number of factors, from the flow rates of
taps or showers, through to the capacity and consumption of baths, dishwashers and washing
machines.

When is a Water Efficiency Calculation Required?
Ideally these calculations should be carried out before you have purchased your proposed fittings so
that your assessor can confirm whether these will meet Building Regulations compliance.
Don’t worry if you are already past this stage however, as there are other minor upgrades and
attachments that can allow you to still meet the necessary rates.
