Project Description

Cardiff University

McKenzie House

As part of Cardiff University’s initiative to reduce its water consumption across their portfolio, Propelair were asked to carry out a study of their toilets  at their administration building, McKenzie House, Cardiff.

Propelair showed the university how much water, carbon footprint and money they would save. So Cardiff University decided to replace all their toilets at McKenzie House with 40 Propelair units.

The 40 Propelair toilets installed bring huge environmental and cost saving benefits: annually Cardiff University saves 5,262,400 litres of water compared to before, equating to over £16k worth of water bill savings.
