Showerkap – Turning Invisible Water Waste into Visible Savings
Showerkap is a UK Greentech start up transforming how high consumption buildings use water and energy. Founded in 2022, we developed the world’s first patented shower fade technology combined with IoT sensors and behavioural science to tackle one of the UN’s top environmental risks: water scarcity. Our system reveals hidden waste behind walls and in guest behaviour, enabling hotels and PBSA buildings to cut shower water use by up to 66% and reduce hot water energy and carbon emissions by up to 18%. Early pilots have already saved hundreds of thousands of litres, prevented leaks, improving resilience in a water stressed region. Showerkap has achieved global certification from the Solar Impulse Foundation, and secured university research partnerships. We are proving that a small start up can deliver outsized environmental and social impact – one shower at a time.
