Buckingham Arms Pub

SaveMoneyCutCarbon helps family run Shorehams pub save over £700 by simply fitting tap aerators

Case study

We fitted tap aerators throughout the washrooms and kitchen

Saving the pub over £700 on their utility bills

These audit interventions have achieved a 56% water reduction, 56% energy reduction and 52% carbon reduction

Improving Efficiency with a Water Focused Audit

At SaveMoneyCutCarbon our experience over the past decade has shown that water efficiency can have a big effect on annual water and energy bills. For instance, eco taps deliver water savings of typically between 50 – 70%, while ultra-low flow toilets can reduce water usage by 75%.

Here’s how we helped one of our customers, Buckingham Arms in Shoreham-by-Sea reduce water costs.

Retrofit Solutions & Further Recommendations

David Ball, our technical lead on the Water Reduction Team visited Buckingham Arms to review where savings could be made on bills, energy and CO2.

While on site, David installed tap aerators to immediately reduce water consumption. These interventions delivered an instant and tangible impact on water usage. Additionally, we found scope for significant savings with further upgrades.

The audit interventions have achieved a 56% water reduction, 56% energy reduction and 56% carbon reduction across the 25 assets upgraded.

Annual savings already achieved:

  • Bills: £752

  • Water: 108,290 Litres

  • Energy: 2,906 KWh

  • Carbon: 0.58 equivalent CO2 tonnes

Further Recommendations:

The SaveMoneyCutCarbon  team also identified that further potential savings could be won with more upgrades. Taps could be made more efficient, a toilet had a leak, and the hand dryers used up much more power than necessary.

Annual savings could be:

  • Bills: £291

  • Water: 53,144 litres

  • Energy: 645 kWh

  • Carbon: 645 equivalent CO2  tonnes

  • Payback: 18 months.

Back to Hotels & Hospitality

This project was completed in July 2024.

Further recommended upgrades include toilets, taps and hand dryers

This could see the pub save an additional £291 annually
