Low-Water Use Public Toilets with Digital Monitoring and Control Systems
Problem statement
Design a public restroom system that minimizes water consumption while ensuring cleanliness, hygiene, and efficient maintenance in high-traffic areas. Incorporate digital monitoring and control systems to enhance maintenance and user experience.
Expected Outcome
Construct a water-efficient restroom design with features that reduce water usage without compromising cleanliness.
Integrate digital monitoring systems that:
Track water consumption.
Monitor usage patterns for predictive maintenance.
Notify maintenance teams of required cleaning or repairs in real time.
Prepare solutions for optimizing hygiene and user satisfaction through features such as:
Automated cleaning mechanisms.
Contactless fixtures (faucets, soap dispensers, flush systems).
Accessibility features for a wide range of users.
Explain how technology supports sustainability, maintenance efficiency, and overall user satisfaction.
Use visual diagrams or mock-ups to support the proposed design (optional).
Participants should propose innovative solutions focused on waste reduction, pollution control, and sustainable urban planning. Expected outputs include actionable ideas or models that illustrate how these solutions can contribute to creating greener, cleaner communities.
