“…This study in addition have likewise proposed a smart hot water control technique that intelligently control hot water usage pattern which in turn also leads to a diminishing level of energy consumption and carbon emissions emanating from the use of hot water in the bathroom system. The design also offers an efficient and automatic control of water-flowrate and temperature in the bathroom that is tailored to the user hot water usage pattern that can also save energy in the bathroom system (Oye et al, 2020b).…”

“…The main idea behind the control system is to give a temperature set point to the controllers and by opening and closing the hot-and cold-water valves and should attain that temperature as quick as possible (Oye et al, 2020b). The core objective is to minimize the energy consumption for heating hot water without influencing the user's comfort.…”

One of the major issues facing the world in the 21st century is climate change. However, sustainability has become a crucial concept to combat extreme consumption of environmental resources. The bathroom has been estimated to be the principal user of environmental resources in United Kingdom households. Therefore, the challenge that how a combined water and energy saving unit in the bathroom will contribute to the sustainability of the houses will remain unresolved. This study challenges and extends existing knowledge on sustainability related to the smart bathroom systems considering social, environmental, and economic principles to achieve a highly efficient water and energy consumption in the bathroom. This study gathers that a range of technological challenges are based on the individual components and technologies in the bathroom and concludes that a holistic approach is required for an effective modelling in the bathroom. This allows the examination of energy and water flows in the complex systems, shaped by various social, economic and environmental forces. The method this study presented adopts conceptual and holistic modelling to design and implement a bathroom unit that is sustainable and smart. This study uncovers the contribution of renewable energy source and smart control technologies in the bathroom and the significant contribution it makes in levels of energy consumption and carbon emissions. These sustainable features are subsequently used to develop framework for sustainable for implementing and evaluation of sustainable bathroom system. This study has established a strong quantitative and qualitative links between three dimensions of sustainability.

“…Therefore, the challenge that how a combined water and energy saving unit in the bathroom will contribute to sustainability of the houses will remain unresolved. A renewable-based option for bathroom system is proposed that can not only eradicate lower the levels of energy consumption and rate of carbon emissions, but also uncover the significance of and particular contribution renewables opportunities makes to the sustainability of the system (Oye et al, 2020b).…”

One of the major issues facing the world in the 21st century is climate change. However, sustainability has become a crucial concept to combat extreme consumption of environmental resources. The bathroom has been estimated to be the principal user of environmental resources in United Kingdom households. Therefore, the challenge that how a combined water and energy saving unit in the bathroom will contribute to the sustainability of the houses will remain unresolved. While the use of solar hot water technologies has been fundamental for energy efficiencies, this study reckons that lack of significant energy saving, and efficiency issues are based on the use of individual components and technologies it employed and concludes that a holistic approach is required to combat this issue. The method this study presented adopts conceptual and mathematical concept that is based on holistic modelling to design for a bathroom unit using Polysun program. Parametric analysis was also conducted to know how change in variable parameters like location, load and switch-on temperatures will affect the performance of the system designed. This study uncovers the contribution of renewable energy source in the bathroom and the significant contribution it makes in levels of energy consumption and carbon emissions which is attributed to the sustainability of the bathroom system and contribution this in turn makes to tackle the climate change as part of a sustainability-based strategy.
