In many apartment buildings, vertical WWHR systems cannot be installed because equipment is not permitted outside the thermal envelope of individual dwellings. The Recoup Sanura X-Tray provides an effective alternative, integrating directly into the bathroom floor and fitting seamlessly into repeat-floor construction when considered early in the design process.
By reducing domestic hot water energy demand, the X-Tray helps developers meet EPC and EPBD requirements, overcome challenges such as grid congestion, and deliver more energy-efficient, future-ready buildings.
Shower waste water heat recovery is becoming an essential solution in residential construction. Recoup systems combine significant energy savings with low investment costs and virtually maintenance-free operation.
By recovering heat that would otherwise be lost, they reduce hot water energy demand, improve building performance and support increasingly ambitious energy regulations through proven passive technology.
Leading developers across Europe choose Recoup for residential, hospitality and commercial projects. Our WWHR systems help reduce energy consumption, lower CO₂ emissions and support compliance with evolving building standards.
Apartment buildings offer excellent potential for shower waste water heat recovery. With a relatively small investment, WWHR systems deliver long-term reductions in hot water energy demand without adding complexity to building operation.
Key benefits:
WWHR is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve residential building performance.
Vertical WWHR systems generally provide the highest heat recovery efficiency and are preferred where regulations and building design allow. Where installation outside the dwelling envelope is restricted, horizontal WWHR provides an effective alternative.
Although slightly less efficient than vertical systems, horizontal solutions still deliver significant energy savings and are ideally suited for multi-storey residential developments.
All Recoup systems are designed for easy installation, reliable long-term performance and minimal maintenance. Built from durable, high-quality materials, they provide a dependable solution for both new-build and renovation projects.
The following WWHR systems are suitable for stacked housing applications. Where regulations and ownership structures allow installation outside the dwelling envelope, vertical WWHR systems can provide additional energy savings.
