Green Facilities Finance
Watersave Australia’s Green Facilities Finance assists customers to immediately upgrade facilities that will make a difference to our environment, without having to wait for capital funding approval. Green Facilities Finance means the funding for the upgrade can be paid in instalments over several years and can be accounted for as an operating expense instead of capital expenditure.
The most obvious advantage of Watersave Australia’s Green Facilities Finance is that capital expenditure is not required, enabling refurbishments to proceed more quickly. Equally, a good portion of the ensuing monthly expense is already being paid in current operating costs. The finance option is merely another way of paying current operating expenses but gaining new assets that reduce water consumption and therefore lower costs.

Furthermore, savings that are achieved through the upgrade (e.g. water and operating cost savings) mean that costs may not increase at all!
Green Facilities Finance aims to make the refurbishment of amenities a more cost effective exercise, delivering lower long term operating costs, lower water consumption and a cleaner and more hygienic environment for landlords and tenants. This in turn will translate to reduced carbon emissions.
Eligibility for Green Facilities Finance will require that organisations make changes to their amenities that will provide measurable water and CO2 savings. This can be achieved by retrofitting flushing urinals with the Uridan Waterless Urinals and installing other water saving sanitary fixtures.
Green Facilities Finance assists companies that wish to meet their sustainability objectives whilst also delivering benefits to all stakeholders as:
- Refurbishments can proceed more quickly
- Water Consumption is reduced significantly
- Operating Costs are fixed for the term
- Asset Value is increased due to refurbishment and ‘greener’ buildings
- An organisation gains brand integrity and good corporate image
- Improved Capital Management
With water costs set to continue to rise, investment in water management seems likely to become a key feature in building portfolios.
