The European Commission’s new #WaterWiseEU campaign is all about fixing the water cycle, using water efficiently, and making sure we all have access to clean and affordable freshwater.

Water use is an important focus of the Level(s) framework, particularly under macro objective 3, ‘Efficient use of water resources’, and macro objective 5, ‘Adaptation and resilience to climate change’.

These macro objectives can help you assess and monitor three aspects of water performance on your building projects:

·       Efficient water use: Implementing water-saving technologies and practices in buildings to reduce consumption.

·       Water quality and reuse: Promoting the use of greywater systems and rainwater harvesting to minimise freshwater use.

·       Resilience to climate change: Enhancing buildings’ capacity to manage water-related risks such as flooding and drought.

If you are interested in learning more about how to use Level(s) to improve water performance in buildings, check out modules 3 and 5 of the Level(s) eLearning course.
