In advance of World Water Day on 22 March, Cistermiser managing director Richard Braid, tells FM Magazine there's a pressing need for operators of commercial buildings to prioritise water and wastewater management alongside decarbonisation.

Cistermiser managing director, Richard Braid, comments on the final findings of the United Kingdom's Independent Water Commission and the government committing to reform of the sector.

As businesses in the UK prepare for significant hikes to their water bills, Cistermiser is urging facilities managers and building operators to rethink how water is used - and wasted - in commercial building environments.

The scale of water waste in UK commercial buildings is staggering, writes Cistermiser managing director, Richard Braid.

Cistermiser is supporting ambitious new water saving targets for commercial buildings from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) including goals to reduce water leakage nationally by 37 per cent by 2038 and 50 per cent by 2050.

A new campaign from Cistermiser is raising awareness of the benefits of Direct Flushing in commercial and institutional buildings.
