Sustainable building classifications

With a graywater recycling system from INTEWA, you make a significant contribution to achieving the United Nations' sustainability goals. Greywater recycling saves valuable water. This is the elementary basis for ensuring all agricultural yields and thus the food supply. In fact, more and more water is needed due to the worsening drought. In addition, our cities need to be greened to counteract urban heat islands and increase biodiversity. This also requires enormous amounts of water, which cannot be provided without recycling graywater. Greywater recycling thus also supports ensuring universal access to clean and affordable drinking water, sanitation and hygiene. Water and CO2 generation are directly linked.

Heat recovery from wastewater can also recycle up to 15 kWh/m³ of energy that previously escaped into the environment. So it stands to reason that the treatment of gray water to produce process water has become a "must have" in the sustainable and future-oriented construction industry and offers many advantages:

  • Increase in building value
  • Higher classification in building certification, DGNB, LEED, BREEAM, etc.
  • Financing advantages (interest) due to EU taxonomy and sustainability classification
  • Sustainable investment, ESG (environmental, social, governance)
