Welcome to Climate Ready Certificates, innovating the way we approach water efficiency in buildings.

In a world where water scarcity is an ever-growing concern, the need for sustainable water management practices has never been more critical. As buildings account for a significant portion of water consumption worldwide, it’s imperative that we address this issue at its source.

Climate Ready Certificates offer a comprehensive solution, providing a certification that addresses water efficiency in a holistic perspective, with a methodology that combines three dimensions: water efficiency, water-energy nexus, and climate adaptation. This methodology can be applied to residential buildings: dwellings, single and multi-family houses, small service or commercial buildings, as well as to “neighbourhoods”, considering buildings and outdoor areas and in three distinct phases: design phase, new construction and operational buildings, resulting in a transversal performance analysis that allows for the consideration and adoption of water efficiency and climate adaptation measures.

This is a methodology that evolves from the AQUA+ system, the classification that is the basis for the water-efficiency dimension.

Why Choose Climate Ready Certificates?

1. Expertise: a methodology that evolves from a concept already proved on the market, AQUA+, that evolved with the help of experts in the field of water management.

2. Comprehensive Approach: evaluation of key aspects of water and energy usage within buildings, from fixtures and appliances to plumbing systems and landscaping, ensuring a holistic approach to water efficiency

3. Customizable Solutions: recognizing that every building is unique, this methodology offers customizable solutions tailored to fit the specific needs and challenges of each project.

4. Environmental Impact: achieving a high classification with the Climate Ready Certification, buildings demonstrate their commitment to environmental sustainability, reducing their carbon footprint and conserving precious water resources.

5. Cost Savings: efficient water (and energy) management not only benefits the environment but also translates to significant cost savings for building owners and occupants through reduced water bills and maintenance expenses.

The Climate Ready Certificates are an initiative within the B-WaterSmart project, a European research project funded by the European Commission through the Horizon 2020 programme. It aims at accelerating the transformation to watersmart economies and societies in coastal Europe and beyond by reducing the use of freshwater resources, improving the recovery and reuse of resources, and increase water use efficiency.
