New approaches in commercial bathroom planning: Delivering better outcomes with data-driven design

There is a growing amount of pressure on architects to use data-driven strategies. Clients have witnessed how analytics have changed other facets of their businesses and are seeing the potential of applying the same methods to optimise the built environment. Commercial bathroom designs in particular tend to emphasise aesthetics and movement through the space, while omitting placement choices and design elements that support more sustainable outcomes and promote hygiene. Integrating data-driven lessons and testing to improve future iterations of bathrooms is the next design frontier.

New approaches in commercial bathroom planning: Delivering better outcomes with data-driven design looks at the role of data-driven design in optimising bathroom layouts. First, we consider why data-driven design has become the next big trend in built environment planning. We then discuss the role of data and smart technology in commercial bathrooms. Finally, we take a close look at how the key learnings made possible by smart fixture data can improve the design of future bathrooms in terms of smarter layouts, hygiene, sustainability and maintenance.

Caroma Smart Command® is an ecosystem of intelligent bathroom products that enable building managers to monitor water use in real-time and make smarter decisions that reduce maintenance costs, while improving hygiene and up time. An innovative range of tapware, urinals, toilets, showers and leak detection valves integrate seamlessly with Caroma Smart Command and incorporate touch-free technology for a more efficient bathroom design that requires less cleaning and maintenance.
