Toilet drivers


The toilet choosen is a compost toilet. It is important for the positioning of the toilet to be north facing for maximum heating capability. Orginally the toilet was west facing and would only get afternoon sun. Now we have a north facing toilet to maximised decomposition rate and limit the amount of power used by the fan to initiate air flow. An example of the type of installation on the left, can be a glass (or perspex) window to the north with heat rocks on the floor with a vent. This addition took a slight alteration in the slab too. Next, to minimise fire risk!
