DESIGN STRATEGIES Bio-metrics, Ergonomics, Sustainability, Nutrient Recycling, Air-Filtering, Hygienics

Strategy Ergonomics 2 nd leading death from cancer in America -American Cancer Society, 2014

Strategy Electricity Generation A microbial fuel cell is a device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy by the catalytic reaction of microorganisms “MFCs hold such promise because they are currently one of the most efficient means of converting waste to energy” –BBC, 2014 “THE TOILET OF THE FUTURE WILL TURN POOP INTO POWER” – FAST COMPANY, 2011 “Finally, A Way To Harvest Hydroelectric Energy From Toilet Flushes” in Korea – Popular Science, 2014

Strategy Reduced Water Usage

Strategy Nutrient Recycling “Urine is chock full of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, which are the nutrients plants need to thrive—and the main ingredients in common mineral fertilizers.” - Scientific American, 2010 “The Global Phosphorus Research Initiative, led by Swedish and Australian scientists, estimates that the world’s readily available phosphorus supplies will be inadequate to meet agricultural demand within 30 to 40 years.” – American Scientist, 2010 Nitrogen Cycle Phosphorous Cycle
