32 business network November 2019 Famed building saves water
The world-famous Lloyd’s Building, in London’s main financial district, is the latest to reap the environmental benefits and cost savings of an innovative washroom water conservation system developed by Derby-based Hygiene Services Group (HSG). The 14-storey Grade I listed building is home to the iconic Lloyd’s of London insurance institution.
‘Water usage has dramatically improved and our environmental credentials have increased’
It is sometimes known as the inside-out building due
to its radical architecture, in which services such as ducts and lifts are located on the exterior to maximise interior space. Washroom blockages, odours and high water usage have however been an issue and Lloyd’s
Corporate Real Estate team called in HSG in a bid to find a solution. HSG installed 129 Ureco units and 53 Uretech water managers across the site. Recognised last year with a Queen’s Award for
Enterprise in Innovation, Ureco has been designed to reduce the amount of water flushing through washroom urinals to just four flushes per day. By adopting the system, Lloyd’s of London now uses
27,429 fewer litres of water a day, equating to a saving of 7.1 million litres of water every year. This will save the organisation nearly £15,000 a year in utility bills and reduce its annual carbon footprint by 7.5 tonnes of CO². Ian Arthurs, Technical Services Manager of Corporate
Real Estate at Lloyd’s of London, said: “I had already seen the benefits Ureco at another major venue and was keen to replicate the improvements here. Water usage has dramatically improved and our environmental credentials have increased.”
