The BT Center in Hong Kong is a modern office building. Recently, the building's washrooms were refurbished with careful attention paid to key aspects of workspaces: hygiene, comfort, accessibility and water saving.
Safety, comfort and accessibility
For the BT Centre, employees are the top priority and Idral offers the safety of contactless bathroom products so that users can feel safe even when they go to work. Good commercial bathroom design takes into account the comfort of employees and makes cleaning and maintenance more efficient and easier. For this reason, the BT Center's washrooms were equipped with the battery-powered ONE series sensor taps (item 02511). These electronic taps improveaccessibility and hygiene. Not only are these touchless devices safer, but they are easier to reach and use for people with limited mobility.
Furthermore, bathrooms in commercial buildings must be comfortable and beautiful, but also durable. Since commercial bathrooms are used by many more people than residential ones, it is essential to choose robust and safe solutions. The 02511 faucets have a chrome-plated brass body and are equipped with an automatic dispensing system every 24 hours since last use, which reduces the risk of germs and bacteria such as legionella proliferating.
Water saving
Idral provided a solution not only to meet hygiene requirements, but also to improve sustainability by saving water. Indeed, a large office building such as the BT Center in Hong Kong can consume a lot of water, which translates into high costs and environmental impact. When it comes to budgeting for commercial bathroom use, water plays a very important role.
There is no way to limit the amount of water used by users, but there are ways to encourage water conservation, such as the use of motion sensors, as in the case of the ONE series electronic faucet, which interrupt the flow of water when the person walks away, reducing waste. In addition, these faucets are equipped with an anti-vandal shut-off system after 1 minute of continuous dispensing to prevent problems related to faucet misuse.
