The Cistermiser Washroom Control Range helps building designs gain BREEAM credit ratings under three distinct categories as well as providing additional washroom management functions.
| BREEAM category |
Cistermiser product |
Performance |
| Hea 6 - Where evidence provided demonstrates that lighting, in all occupied areas, is zoned to allow separate control. |
Washroom Control |
- The system controls the lighting in the washroom zone so that lights are on only when users are present.
|
| Ene 4 - Where energy efficient external luminaires are fitted and all light fittings are controlled for the presence of daylight. |
Washroom Control |
- The system contains a daylight sensor to provide switching only when the level of natural lighting is insufficient.
|
| Wat 4 - Where evidence is provided to demonstrate that proximity detection shut off is provided to the water supply to all urinals and WCs. |
Washroom Control |
- Controls proximity shut-off of the water supply to the urinals and WCs by means of the PIR sensor detecting occupancy and providing signals to the control valves during periods of no occupation.
|
The Cistermiser IR range can help a building design gain BREEAM credit ratings under the water category and offers additional health, safety and maintenance benefits.

Cistermiser product |
Performance |
| Wat 1 - where evidence provided demonstrates that the specification includes taps, urinals, WCs and showers that consume less potable water in use than standard specifications for the same type of fittings. |
Easyflush WC valve |
- Standard 6 litre full flush with an adjustable part flush giving an effective flush volume of 4.5 litres.
- Provides a linked flush and fill function (delayed action inlet valve operation).
- Full flush adjustable to 4 litres with a subsequent reduction in part flush giving an effective flush volume of 3 litres.
|
| Direct Flush (Discreet and Accessible) urinal control valve |
- Each flush uses less than 0.5 litres.
- Flush arrest function to reduce water consumption further during periods of high use.
- Programmable for flush duration, sensing range and has a hygiene rinse function.
- Cleaner’s function.
|
| Novatap and Novaspout basin outlets |
- Regulated flow of either 5 litres or 3.5 litres per minute.
- Programmable run on.
|
| Hea 12 - where hot and cold water systems have been designed or actions taken to minimise risks of microbial contamination. |
Novatap and Novaspout basin outlets |
- Used with Thermostatic Mixing Valves, the periodic hygiene rinse function prevents the warm, mixed water from stagnating.
- Reduces the risk of microbial contamination such as legionella.
|
The Cistermiser AV Range can help a building design achieve specific BREEAM credits under the Water and Health & Wellbeing categories whilst providing a robust anti-vandal, anti-ligature water control package for high risk and hard use environments.
