Expected impacts

Orbital Bathroom

To demonstrate the Orbital Bathroom concept in three (3) pilot installations for up to 12 months. Verifying water savings of up to 75 % and water-heating-related energy savings of up to 80 % To successfully disseminate the outcome of the project to potential stakeholders and target groups in Europe. Interested parties will be invited to the pilot facilities to observe the functionality of the innovative solution as well as to receive information on the potential environmental and energy savings it offers. Perform a fast replication and commercialization, based upon the results of the demonstration.

Quantitative results

The Orbital Bathroom installations has the potential of leading to the following primary quantitative results:

Water savings of up to 102,000 litres per year per bathroom unit for two-guest usage.

  • Project-wide water savings of approx. 17 million litres in the bathroom
  • Project-wide yearly water savings of approx. 7.4 million litres in the bathroom
  • Energy savings of up to approx. 2,600 kWh of energy per year per bathroom unit for two-guest usage.
  • Project-wide energy savings of approx. 450,000 kWh
  • Project-wide yearly energy savings of approx. 190,000 kWh
  • Reduction of approx. 108 tonnes of CO2 emissions in the bathroom per year and 325 tonnes over the total duration of the project
