By installing our innovative showers, developers can ensure homeowners enjoy a premium showering experience while reducing household water and energy bills.
Our Deluxe Shower Panel features Air-Powered™ Shower Technology, fully recognised under the Government’s Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) via Appendix Q and within the Reduced Standard Assessment Procedure, ensuring compliance with energy and water efficiency regulations. Designed with both performance and sustainability in mind, Kelda Showers help housebuilders deliver homes that are efficient, modern and appealing to buyers.

Cala Homes

Energy Rating New Dwellings (SAP)
Kelda’s Deluxe Shower Panel is fitted with Air-Powered™ Shower Technology, fully recognised under the Government’s Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) via Appendix Q and RdSAP.
The Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) is the Government-approved method for calculating the energy rating of new dwellings, ensuring that residential developments meet modern water and energy efficiency standards. By incorporating Kelda Showers, housebuilders can provide high-performance, energy-efficient bathrooms that are both sustainable and appealing to homeowners.
Test calculations have shown that replacing a conventional mixer shower with Kelda’s Air-Powered™ Shower can help housebuilders achieve compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations. As the shower uses less water, it can also contribute to compliance with Part G, supporting energy-efficient and water-saving residential developments.
Kelda is committed to providing full support to specifiers and SAP Assessors, helping ensure that the energy and water efficiency benefits of our showers are fully realised in every project.
How Kelda Showers Provide a Great Solution for New Build Housing

Homeowner Savings

Radically Reducing Water Consumption
Kelda Showers help meet Part G building regulations with water-efficient designs. Our Air-Powered™ technology uses up to 55% less water, keeping usage below 125 litres per person per day (or 110 litres in water-stressed areas). With limescale-resistant nozzles in our Deluxe Shower Panels, blockages are prevented and water pressure is maintained, making them low-maintenance, efficient, and perfect for modern, energy-conscious homes.
Verified Savings for Homeowners
Kelda Showers’ Air-Powered™ technology is Energy Saving Trust verified for energy efficiency. Replacing a conventional mixer shower with a Kelda shower could reduce a typical home’s annual energy use by around 10% (2,200 kWh) and save a household of four £385 per year on water and energy bills. Featuring an intelligent microprocessor and a powerful digital fan, our showers are highly efficient while helping to minimise the risk of legionella.
Lower Household CO2e
Kelda Showers are proven to reduce carbon emissions, with recent trials with Barratt Developments showing a 5,000 kg CO₂e reduction per home, equivalent to a 10% drop in Dwelling Emission Rate (DER). Energy Saving Trust verified, a typical home can cut annual carbon emissions by around 11% (630 kg CO₂e) by switching from a conventional mixer shower. Kelda showers are ideal for low-carbon, energy-efficient homes, with even greater savings in super-insulated properties.
