Research on the Effectiveness of Systems with Alternative Water Sources for Buildings Located in Selected European Countries
Abstract Research on the efficiency of using the rainwater harvesting system was carried out at eight different locations in Europe. The simulation model used for the research is based on the daily mass water balance. The model algorithm is based on the YAS (Yield After Spillage) operating rule. In the research, it was assumed that rainwater would be used only for non-potable uses. It was assumed that the harvested rainwater would be used for toilet flushing, washing, and garden watering. In order to determine the optimal tank capacity, the volumetric reliability of the series of rainwater tanks which were assumed in the first step was determined. The tank capacity was considered optimal when a further increase in this capacity resulted in changes in volumetric reliability of 1% or less.
