Integrated Water Management Design Criteria Report
September 1, 2009
A NZ manufactured greywater system (the ECOplus) obtained the highest number of sustainability points for a single product in an assessment of the efficacy and efficiency of water saving products. It also featured as part of the best overall system (a combination of greywater recycling, rainwater tank, low flow showerhead and water efficient washing machine). This is a reflection of the fact that it works well in combination with other water saving devices. Products and systems were assessed against the following criteria:
- Water quantity
- Water quality
- Nutrient cycle
- Material cycle
- Cultural issues
- Resilience
- Technical issues
- Social
- Life cycle energy
- Economic
