Student Accommodation
Offering students a better shower experience
Providing a Superior Shower Using Less Water
Kelda’s Air-Powered™ technology offers student accommodation providers shower solutions that lower their utility costs. Our showers have been designed and manufactured here in the UK to deliver a better shower experience using less water and energy, resulting in fewer carbon emissions.
iQ Kingston Trial
A total of 21 student rooms were identified for the purpose of the shower trial. It was agreed that Kelda’s data loggers would be used to assess the water consumption of the current showers for one month, prior to fitting Kelda’s Air-Powered™ showers, for another month.
Process
1. Audit current conventional showers (x21) to establish the Baseline Flow Rate.
2. Install data loggers on current conventional showers (x21) for a period of one month.
3. Replace current conventional showers with Kelda Air-Powered™ showers (x21).
Results
• Average conventional shower duration: 5m 20s
• Average Kelda shower duration: 5m 35s
• Average water consumption per conventional shower event: 52 litres
• Average water consumption per Kelda shower event: 27 litres
• 48% water saving (net)

Kelda’s goal has always been to create a more sustainable shower solution without compromising user experience.
Lower Carbon Emissions
By using less water per shower event, less energy is required to heat the water.
This reduction in water and energy usage means a reduction in carbon emissions, as well as financial savings.
