Duplicable City Center Plumbing Design and Setup

This page is about the development of the plumbing details for the Duplicable City Center®. It is purposed to share the specifics of the design, implementation, and maintenance of the hot and cold water systems, waste systems, and other plumbing-related details.

We discuss this with the following sections:

The final plumbing design needs to include two systems: the system that supplies water and the system that gets rid of waste. The most sustainable design uses the shortest runs possible between plumbing fixtures and materials that are durable and non-toxic to people and the planet.

This page shows how we’ve created these two systems for the Duplicable City Center®. We’ve done this following the most current code requirements. As we finish these designs and then install and maintain them, we will open source and share here all the data we gather, everything we learn, and our ongoing modifications and evolutions to help others to more easily learn from, replicate, and/or improve these designs.

To maximize sustainability, the plumbing of the Duplicable City Center will also be integrated as much as possible with our automation, monitoring, and control systems. This will save resources and allow us to specifically monitor the impacts of any changes made to usage patterns, hardware, etc. Our goal in open sourcing all of this is to provide useful data for:

  • Permitting and designs that meet US standards
  • Open source replication and improvement
  • Global collaboration and sharing
  • Academic interest and reference

This open source aspect of the City Center will additionally contribute to our global-change methodology by demonstrating the most sustainable materials.
