Housing Executive speaks to ZapCarbon Technical Director Andrew Smith about energy efficiency in a new interview. Explore the thinking behind ZapCarbon’s approach to reducing energy use and the wider story behind the group that brings you Zypho shower heat recovery.
“One day, all showers will work this way.”
ZyphoHot water is a massive part of the average UK household’s energy bill. We spend around £600 per year on heating water for showers. By recovering heat from wastewater, Zypho improves shower efficiency by 30 – 82%.
A Zypho is easy to install underneath your bath or shower tray. Once in place, it passively recovers heat from every shower, day after day, year after year.
Less energy consumed = fewer CO2 emissions and more showers for “free”.
