BREEAM Prisons
BREEAM Prisons can assess high and standard security prisons, young offenders’ institutions, local prisons and women's prisons at the design stage and post construction. The Cistermiser AV Range can help a building design achieve specific BREEAM credits under the water category whilst providing a robust anti-vandal, anti-ligature water control package for high risk and hard use environments.
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.

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. |
AV Range control of Easyflush WC valve |
- Standard 6 litre full flush with an adjustable part flush giving an effective flush volume of 4.5 litres.
- Full flush adjustable to 4 litres with a subsequent reduction in part flush giving an effective flush volume of 3 litres.
|
| AV Range control of Direct Flush urinal control valve |
- Each flush uses less than 0.5 litres.
- Flush arrest function to reduce water consumption further during periods of high use.
|
| AV basin outlets and showers |
- Basin outlet flow control set at 2.2 litres per minute.
- Shower outlet flow control set at 7 litres per minute.
|
| Hea 12 - where hot and cold water systems have been designed or actions taken to minimise risks of microbial contamination. |
AV basin outlets and showers |
- 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.

Performance |
| 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.
|
| Sensazone |
- 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.
