Showersave, the award-winning manufacturer and distributor of waste water heat recovery systems (WWHRS), has unveiled the Showersave QB1-21XE, its latest innovation designed to help housebuilders improve energy efficiency and achieve Part L compliance.
Available for installation from December 2024, this new model builds on the success of its predecessor, the QB1-21, and is designed to deliver maximum energy savings, compliance with building regulations, and ease of installation – key benefits for housebuilders and developers across the UK.
Designed to make the biggest impact on hot water energy savings for showers, the QB1-21XE is an affordable and effective solution for meeting Part L building regulations and future-proofing homes to comply with the upcoming Future Homes Standard (FHS).
With its superior efficiency, the new system enables housebuilders to reduce energy consumption and lower homeowners’ utility bills, while simultaneously supporting efforts to comply with the UK’s energy-saving targets.
