EWSC Project Reports

This is a new guide developed in collaboration with the Good Homes Alliance and the UK Water Efficiency Collaborative Fund (administered by Waterwise). Developed for architects, developers, planners, and housing associations, the guide, authored and edited by Pollard Thomas Edwards, it provides case studies, best practice, and industry insight to respond to the urgent need for ‘water-smart’ homes due to mounting water stress in the UK.

The guide offers practical, evidence-based design strategies to help housing professionals deliver on emerging policy and environmental imperatives. It includes model specifications for fittings, layout, and reuse systems – all geared toward meeting or exceeding the government’s 110 litres per person per day target. With the Environment Act and Defra consultations set to tighten regulations, the publication arrives at a critical moment.
