In a boost to the construction and development sector, water companies across the UK are now offering water credit discounts to developers who provide accurate and compliant Part G water efficiency calculations. This initiative is part of a broader government-backed drive to promote sustainability in new-build properties, ensuring efficient water use in homes and commercial spaces alike.
The water credits scheme rewards developers for sustainable water practices, reducing consumption and supporting the UK’s environmental goals. By providing compliant Part G calculations, developers can unlock valuable discounts through this program.
The water credits scheme aims to drive sustainability in construction, incentivising developers to implement efficient water-saving technologies in new buildings. Supported by nearly £9 million in government funding, this initiative promotes reduced water use, aligning with the UK’s long-term environmental targets.
Under the scheme, developers achieving Part G compliance can earn financial benefits, in the form of discounts based on their water credits. These credits are awarded based on detailed Part G water efficiency calculations, which must be verified by an accredited professional.
To participate, developers need to provide precise calculations that meet regulated benchmarks in water usage. Only then can they access the scheme’s financial incentives.
