H3-024 - Toilet Rooms: HVAC and Plumbing

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2011 AT 6:42AM

In celebration of the World Toilet Organization's World Toilet Day, Saturday November 19th, I have decided to talk about toilet room design, covering both HVAC and Plumbing.  So often we forget in our professional lives that toilet rooms have a very emotional connection to us in our day to day lives.  I mention a study saying that a dirty toilet room can have a negative effect on the bottom line of consumer stores but I would extend that "negative impact" to dirty toilet rooms whereever you worked.  So the moral of my story is to take toilet room layout seriously, help architects avoid errors, and advocate for the owner.
