Faucets help to tackle electricity costs | Architecture | Architonic
In the past years, the construction sector has been forced to alter the energy performance of existing building stock and pave the way for low-carbon buildings of the future. Meanwhile, a current surge in European energy prices puts pressure on project planners to save resources and keep energy costs of buildings low.
Here’s how to cut down on energy costs and what role water-saving installations play in the green transition. Many of today’s building stock was built without following significant energy performance standards and the European Commission estimates that 75 percent of existing buildings will continue to exist by 2050. As energy prices are skyrocketing and the demand for resource-efficient buildings continues to grow, energy renovations offer great potential to achieve a lower carbon footprint and tackle the rising utility costs of public and private buildings. Water consumption takes up a considerable share of a building’s utility bill in both residential and public buil…
