Net-Zero Bathroom Exhibit

Nick Urban, our visiting intern from Maine, USA, presented the work he has been doing over the past couple weeks designing a net-zero bathroom exhibit with freelance energy adviser Bernd Garbers. The structure would showcase the most current sustainable bathroom designs, including a thermosiphon solar hot water system, urine-diverting composting toilet ventilated by a small wind turbine, and a solar powered air ventilation/dehumidification system. In addition to serving as an educational exhibit, it will also be a fully functioning bathroom open to visitors during the summer months.
