The challenge in a sustainable suite design competition, sponsored by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), is redefining a high-performance, energy-and-resource-efficient hotel suite. The determining aspects are: Design Elements (water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources and indoor environmental quality), Education (guest room attributes and guest practices) and Overall Design (integrated design approach, originality and innovation, general aesthetic and financial feasibility). Answering the challenge, The WATG/IDEO team created “Haptik”. One of the main appeals are the many energy-reducing features such as an “all-off” switch to ensure lights are automatically turned off based on passive infrared sensors (PIS) and room conditioning equipped by a four-pipe horizontal fan-coil system. Another appeal includes water system that includes a Trombe wall capable of capturing solar heat in the shower and a gray water irrigation system that filters and recycles shower water to outdoor gardens and landscaping.
