water for all building
users
2. Parameters listed under
QWRSB
Requirement
1. Water Sampling
2. Locations (all tanks and
farthest outlets in the
distribution system)
3. Schematic and layout

WuP2 Water Saving Performance
Rationale
1. Minimize adverse
environmental impacts
Requirement
1. Summary Table
2. Flow rate calculation at
working pressure
3. Schematic and Layout
drawings
4. Catalogue/cut sheets
5. Use baseline data
provided in BEAM
manual
6. Records, Cx data,
delivery notes, site
photographs, etc.

Water Use
WuP2 Common Mistakes
• Pressure
– Fittings water flow rate declared (low flow taps,
showers, etc.) to based on working water pressure
• Calculation
– baseline/project case comparison incorrect
• Alternate Authority
– Inadequate justification for source of alternative data
should be CIBSE guide, IOP manual, ASPE, etc.

Wu1 Annual Water Use
Rationale
1. Reward higher
performance. Annual
water saving of 20%,
25% or 30% earns 1, 2,
or 3 credits respectively;
Requirement
1. Same as WUP1
Wu2 Monitoring and Control
Rationale
1. Water Seepage APP105
2. Early water leakage
detection to minimize
waste water
3. Encourage design

self evident
4. Coverage for ALL areas
inside building(s)
5. Underground piping is
excluded!
Requirement

output, photographs, etc.
Water Use
Wu2 Common Mistakes
• Coverage, Coverage, Coverage
– Detection system shall cover all concealed piping
including all plant rooms, ceiling voids, under raised
floors, pipe ducts, water meter rooms, risers, and all
other areas with concealed water pipework
– Exposed/surface mounted piping means any leakage
is self evident
– Underground piping is excluded from Assessment
Wu3 Water Efficient Irrigation

environmental impacts
Requirement
1. Irrigation system which
does not require
municipal water after
establishment period
2. Highly efficient irrigation
technology (drip type)
3. 50% Greywater and or
Rainwater harvesting
installation
45
Rainwater Greywater
sewer
Roof (catchment area)

black water)
Requirement
1. Greywater/Rainwater
harvesting installation
2. Calculations potable
water conservation
3. Schematic and layout
drawings
4. Catalogue/cut sheets
5. Records, log book,
meter readings, site
photographs
Wu5 Water Efficient Appliances
Rationale

dishwasher, washing
machine, etc. (not
taps/showers)
2. Reduce potable water
consumption
Requirement
1. Calculation (BEAM
Baseline data)
2. Schematic and layout
drawings
3. Appliance information

resulting from sewerage
discharge to lower
burden for municipal
waste handling systems
by 20%

Scheme (HATS)
Requirement
1. Summary Table
2. Schematic and layout
drawings
3. Calculation (only WC
and urinals considered)
4. Technical information
WELS label, catalogue,
