Projeto Smart Sink: projeto de torneira conceitual sustentável

Abstract

The concern with water consumption is notorious, with population growth industries need more fluid to produce products, and there is also increased pollution of rivers, lakes and major freshwater sources. These factors are incidents of high water use. From this assumption this project has as its general objective, to develop a conceptual tap oriented to the sustainability of the water issue. The specific objectives are: collect and analyze the use of water resources by Brazilians in the domestic environment; research existing sustainable technologies to be used in the project; research materials with properties suitable for the product and propose a countertop compatible with the use of the tap. The basic methodology applied in the work was created by Bernd Lobach with four macrophases: preparation, generation, evaluation and realization. The development of the conceptual countertop faucet has solved many of the problems encountered in today's countertops through the use of more sustainable technology and materials, meeting established requirements.
