WELL public Water Efficiency Label Manufacturer Schell GmbH & Co.KG Category Wash basin valve Type Single cold water valve S Flow-independent temperature settir Temperature Limit Self closing / Manual 49 Self closing / Touch free Hygienic Noise Class 2 (< 30 db) Noise Class 1 (< 20 db) Fitting technology from SCHELL help reduce water and energy consumption of a building. For example, a self-closing fitting can help save up to 55% of water for washing hands - an infrared-controlled fitting even up to 65%. The figures are similar for showering. Here, but also for fittings with...

Since 2016, the new headquarters of Siemens, the global technology company, transports the cosmopolitan, green and transparent image of the corporation. The new building in Munich, designed by the Danish master architect Henning Larsen, consumes 75 per cent less water than the old building and was certified according to LEED with Platinum.

How you can increase the ecological and economic benefits of property. In times of ever scarcer resources, the topic of sustainability grows in significance. Ultimately, nearly 40 percent of the global primary energy requirements is for the construction and operation of buildings. With LEED („Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design“) the U.S. Green Building Council has developed a globally successful classification system for sustainable buildings, that is now also gaining increasing significance in Germany. LEED represents an overall assessment of the building during the construction...

In order to receive a sophisticated evaluation about sustainability throughout the complete life cycle of the building in awarding the LEED certification, the U.S. Green Building Council differentiates between four levels of quality: Certified, Silver, Gold, Platinum Examples of platinum certification in Germany are, e.g. the head offices of the Suddeutschen Verlages in Munich or the Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt.

Assessment in 8 categories. The point system of LEED. Internal quality Sustainable construction sites Water efficiency Energy & Atmosphere Materials & Resources Environmentally compatible location Innovation & Design process Evaluation groups Regional Priority

In addition to the extremely frugal water and energy consumption, the building meets top demands on sustainability by using regional building materials, such as natural stone from a quarry only 100 kilometres away. Using the point system, the different characteristics of a building are assessed for sustainability. Maximum points attainable, 110. LEED points can be awarded in the following eight categories: • Sustainable construction sites: Focuses on consideration of environmentally relevant factors during the construction process as well as waste reduction. • Water efficiency: Evaluates...

Eleven of the maximum 110 points can be gained in the area of efficient use of water, six of which in the area of water use within a building. Two additional points can be gained by reducing the use of water outside a building and two in the use of water in air-conditioning systems. Water meters to determine additional saving potentials yield another point. Principally, saving measures must be applied in all three areas at the same time, that is, for water usage inside and outside a building as well as the installation of at least one water meter. Within the building up to six points...

Water Efficiency Labelling The European label for water and energy-saving sanitary fittings Regardless whether the sustainability of a complete building shall be certified, fittings from SCHELL help significantly reduce the water and energy demands – and thus cost – during the utilization phase already at each point of utilization. The WELL label for fittings provides transparency and clarity. By means of the classification, the user will be able to establish the energy and water consumption for different fittings. The design of the WELL label is geared towards the energy efficiency labels...

Drinking water hygiene and saving water are not a contradiction in terms. The top priority is maintaining drinking water hygiene. Lower water consumption in single fittings does not contradict this. It is rather important to prevent stagnant water collecting in a pipe system by using suitable pipe work and specifically arranging the fittings in accordance with frequency of use. Adherence to flow rates must be planned with pipe sizes complying with DIN 1988-300 (EN 806 - 3). In this context, reference is also made to sufficient insulation of the piping, to be able to adhere to the...

There are three different labels: »Home«, »Public« and »Upgrade«. The requirements on sanitary fitting for the home are different to those for public and commercial areas. Whilst comfort and the experience of individual wellness are at the forefront in the bathroom at home, in public sanitary rooms, the emphasis is on efficient use of water and, above all, hygiene. To allow for these differences within WELL, the classification has been divided into three labels • “Home" for private households • “Public" for the public sector • “Upgrade" for accessories for universal use to increase...
