en.Wedoany.com Reported - The WIN initiative under the UK Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) Water Efficiency Lab has selected seven delivery partners, with Everflow joining Aviva, Direk, Waterwise, Wates Group Ltd, Weir The Agency LLP, and the University of Southampton. Led by Quensus Ltd, the initiative has secured £495,527 in funding to support innovations that reduce water consumption for businesses and households.
The WIN initiative is an 18-month trial that will deploy over 1,000 water and occupancy sensors across 30 commercial buildings, addressing the 10%–30% of water typically lost due to leaks and continuous flow. The project integrates real-time building usage data with water management plans, generating practical "repair lists" for facility managers to transform raw data into immediate actionable steps, reducing water waste and establishing new insurance-backed efficiency standards. The latter will test whether water efficiency can be linked to insurance premiums through a new water management plan standard co-developed with Aviva, making water conservation commercially motivated rather than purely voluntary.
Craig Dallison, CEO of Everflow, stated that being selected as a delivery partner for the WIN initiative is a true recognition of Everflow's approach to commercial water efficiency. Too many businesses still lose 10%–30% of water due to leaks and continuous flow, simply because the industry lacks the tools to understand waste and take action—a cost businesses should not have to bear. This project brings together the right technology, partners, and incentives to finally change that. By combining device-level sensor data with clear, actionable insights and exploring how water efficiency can be directly linked to insurance premiums, water management shifts from reactive response to something that truly makes commercial sense. For Everflow, this is exactly its mission: to provide businesses with simple, practical tools to reduce waste, lower bills, and make sustainability achievable rather than overwhelming.
