Energy intensity of rainwater harvesting systems: A review
详细信息   
摘要
•RHS are typically more energy intensive than conventional town water supply systems.•Theoretical studies significantly underestimate the energy intensity of RHS.•RHS pump stand-by and start-up power was rarely considered in reported theoretical studies.•Well-designed RHS have similar levels of energy intensity to town water supply.•The use of header tanks lowers the energy intensity of RHS.
