The National Energy Foundation, a charity promoting the sustainable use of energy has recently completed its second phase office construction in Milton Keynes.

Amongst the many energy saving in this exemplary low-energy office, is the installation of a Freewater rainwater harvesting system.

Ian Byrne, the NEF Deputy Director, comments, "The Rainman System has proved extremely efficient and provides up to half our water needs from rainfall.

"It is a valuable addition to our wide range of systems for exploiting 'free' energy from the ground and the sun, and contributes to minimising our running costs.

"It also benefits the local environment by controlling rainwater runoff in the spirit of SUDS. "
