Abstract: Nowadays humanity use about 50% of the existing potable water, but in the next 15 years this percentage will achieve 75%. Consequently the hydric stress risk will rise significantly across the entire planet. Accordingly several countries have to apply efficient hydric measures in the supply water sector, including at the building level. These measures beyond the water consumption reduction will contribute to increase the energy efficiency and to decrease the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) specially the CO2 emissions. This paper is focused on the study of a region in the center of Portugal (Aveiro). Its aim is to assess the impact of efficient devices implementation in the water consumption facilities in the global urban water cycle, as well in the energy efficiency increase and in the decrease of GHG emissions.
Keywords: Hydric Efficiency, Efficient Water Devices, Energy Efficiency, Emissions of GHG.
