Waterless urinals for commercial office buildings

Office washrooms see predictable weekday traffic across many floors. For owners and property managers, that repetition makes urinal flushing an easy line to measure — and a fixture decision that scales across a building.

Common pain points


  • Water and sewer chargesOntario municipalities bill water and wastewater per cubic metre. Flushing urinals on every floor add to both lines of the bill.
  • Tenant complaintsRunning valves, odour and out-of-order fixtures turn into tenant service requests that building operators must answer.
  • Sustainability and certification goalsOwners pursuing building certifications or ESG reporting look for measurable water reductions in common areas.
  • Stacked washrooms, shared risersRepeated floor plates make it practical to assess one typical washroom and apply the findings across the stack.

A practical approach


  • Assess a typical floorWe start with one representative washroom, then extend the findings to similar floors to keep the assessment efficient.
  • Coordinate with your cleaning contractWaterless urinals rely on routine cleaning with compatible products and scheduled trap replacement, so the janitorial contractor should be part of the plan.
  • Model by occupancyBadge data or occupancy counts give a better estimate of daily uses than a headcount alone, especially with hybrid work.

Estimating usage: With hybrid work, use actual average occupancy for weekdays and set operating days to about 250–260. Open the calculator

What we'll ask in the assessment


  • How many floors and urinals?
  • What is current weekday occupancy?
  • Who provides janitorial services?
  • Are there certification or ESG targets for water?
