By upgrading to Propelair, Grosvenor Estates achieved a 79% reduction in water use, saving 3,901,040 litres annually across the building. Previous toilets consumed 7 litres per flush, while Propelair uses just 1.5 litres, dramatically reducing daily and annual water consumption in this high-occupancy London office.

The switch to Propelair delivered Grosvenor Estates an annual £8,387 reduction in water bills, driven by saving 3.9 million litres of water each year. With a payback period of 3.5 years, the investment generates strong ROI, while reduced blockages, fewer call-outs, and faster maintenance response lower ongoing operational and maintenance costs.

The installation of Propelair toilets enabled Grosvenor Estates to reduce annual carbon emissions by 4,020 kg, alongside saving nearly 4 million litres of water each year. These measurable outcomes directly support sustainability targets, strengthen ESG reporting, and demonstrate tangible environmental leadership across its central London commercial property portfolio.
