(1) Submetering
Monitor water usage - Key element Sub-meters should be installed Installation of submeters/private meters on all major water systems, such as cooling tower, irrigation, hot water devices, etc.\ Know how water is used Identification of leak areas quickly Shall be accessible for meter readings and maintenance

Maintenance officers are encouraged to take water meter readings regularly (daily/weekly/fortnightly) Monitor the water consumption on a plotted graph Any sudden increase may indicate a leak in the system Investigate immediately Take prompt action to repair leaks, if any
25
main and sub-meters should be linked to a building management system (BMS) water usage trends can be recorded Alarm activated if there is a sudden increase in water consumption or a new trend in water consumption as this will indicate the possibility of a water leakage

Legend
Water Efficient Irrigation Systems -Drip irrigation uses 30% to 50% less water than sprinkler irrigation - Drip irrigation applies water slowly and directly to the roots of plants. Hence, evaporation and runoff is minimized - Adopt flexible irrigation schedule to save water by adjusting to changing weather conditions - Recycled water should be used - Potable water is only permitted for system to be turned on manually and turned off automatically

Urinals
recommended flush volume for standard size urinal (300mm width) is 0.5 litres per flush Waterless Urinals : Eliminate the use of water in flushing - save water Low installation cost as water connection and flush valve are not needed Proper maintenance is crucial to ensure the waterless urinal do not cause unpleasant smells.
36
Shower Taps & Low Flow Showerheads The flow rate should not exceed 7 litre/min Install Low Flow Showerheads with less than 5 litre/min
< 5 L/min
37
Washbasin Taps
Before insallation of thimble or CFR After insallation of thimble (3.8 L/min)
6 l/min (Turbulence)
2 l/min (Laminar)
For
sensor taps with 2 litre/min flow rate, cut off supply when hand is removed from basin or preset timing of not more than 60 secs is reached,whichever is earlier.
