Recoup is the UK market-leader for Waste Water Heat Recovery systems for Showers (WWHRS).
We produce a portfolio of SAP-listed, highly efficient WWHRS products which extract waste heat energy from used shower water in order to pre-heat the incoming cold feed - recycling waste heat energy back into the DHW system. This simple solution offers one of the best ‘pound for points’ ratios of any SAP measure and is a true ‘fit and forget’ product, and ultimately can save up to 67% of the energy cost each time a shower is used (regardless of heat source).
For new-build construction WWHRS can simply be used with a 'Fabric-first' approach, often in place of other more expensive SAP measures such as MVHR, Solar thermal, ASHP, PV or triple glazing, but for a fraction of the cost. It is an ideal option for residential housing, modular build designs, as well as student accommodation builds, hotels or leisure facilities.
Furthermore, it requires no complex installation or commissioning; no ongoing or planned maintenance; no end-user interaction; and has no moving or mechanical parts - Just on-demand, passive energy savings with every shower.
We supply to many UK National housebuilders in England, Scotland and Wales, and have recently extended our Sole-Supplier Agreement with Barratt/DWH & Bovis Homes for the UK, and also extended our UK Supply Agreement with Redrow Homes for the 6th consecutive year in a row.
As well as being specified by some of the largest house builders in the UK, we also work closely with housing associations; commercial and leisure projects; SAP assessors; and architects and homeowners to help make savings whilst also meeting strict building regulations and legislation.
New products are currently in development, with a number of new products due for release across 2017 & 2018.
