Terraced Housing

Recoup Waste Water Heat Recovery Systems (WWHRS) helps developers and homeowners improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of their homes. Designed for simple integration and long-term reliability, our systems recover heat from shower waste water to reduce hot-water energy use and lower carbon emissions across every property.

The New Standard in modern Homes

Across the world, housebuilders and construction professionals are choosing Recoup Waste Water Heat Recovery Systems (WWHRS) to make terraced housing developments more efficient, more sustainable and fully compliant with today’s energy-saving building regulations.

Our systems capture heat from shower waste water and use it to preheat cold mains water. This proven technology reduces hot-water energy consumption, lowers carbon emissions and supports compliance with modern building-performance and sustainability requirements.

Trusted by developers across Europe

Recoup WWHRS systems are trusted by major residential developers across Europe. From large terraced housing schemes to modern urban infill projects, Recoup helps meet energy-efficiency targets, strengthen sustainability credentials and deliver long-term value for both residents and developers.

Why WWHRS?

Terraced homes are built in rows with identical layouts, which means energy performance plays a major role in the overall efficiency of a development. High hot-water demand across multiple similar units creates significant energy load.

Recoup WWHRS helps developers and homeowners:

  • Reduce hot-water energy use in every property
  • Meet national building and energy-performance regulations
  • Improve EPC ratings and sustainability performance
  • Reduce reliance on costly renewable technologies
  • Lower heating costs for occupants
  • Support low-carbon housing goals

Because the system operates passively, with no moving parts, electronics or user maintenance, it provides a reliable, long-lifespan solution ideal for terraced properties.

By reducing hot-water demand across the whole development, WWHRS improves the efficiency of individual heating systems and shared plant infrastructure alike.

Vertical vs. horizontal

Terraced homes often feature stacked bathrooms from floor to floor, making vertical WWHRS units a highly efficient and space-saving option.

Where layouts var, such as ground, floor bathrooms or mixed designs—horizontal systems deliver the same strong performance with full installation flexibility.

Built for long-term use

All Recoup systems are easy to install, offer reliable long-term performance and are built from durable, high-quality materials.
