Water is the most precious natural resource. Ensure availability and sustainable water management is mandatory for healthy environments and one of the sustainable development goals. The main aim of the plumbing design studio is to plan and design economical and sustainable plumbing services. A variety of projects such as commercial, residential, mall, hotel, hospital, school, resort, hostel, studio apartments will be assigned to the students for the designing of the plumbing services. The students will plan and design sustainable and economical plumbing services of an assigned project and estimate the cost with many design constraints such as freshwater consumption reduction, installation of the water meter, centralized hot water and RO system, rainwater harvesting, recycling, and reuse of wastewater. Students will also prepare the digital non – working models representing plumbing services of assigned projects. Many technical visits will be arranged as a part of the studio. As a part of the studio, students also make working models related to plumbing services such as retrofitting of water-efficient touchless or foot-operated washbasin, Water closer disinfectant system, sensor-based flushing system, greywater treatment plant, etc.
