Introduction
In today’s hospitality sector, hotel operators face increasing pressure to reduce operating costs, meet sustainability targets, and deliver an exceptional guest experience. While many sustainability initiatives focus on energy consumption, one area that is often overlooked is the washroom in public areas.
From public washrooms to leisure facilities and conference spaces, washrooms are consume a lot of water within a hotel. Inefficient flushing systems, ageing fittings and hidden leaks can result in thousands of litres of water being wasted every year.

By implementing intelligent water management solutions, hotels can:
With sustainability becoming an increasingly important factor in guest decision-making, investing in water-efficient washrooms is no longer just about cost savings, it’s about future-proofing your business.

Real Results: Radisson RED Hotel London Heathrow
A great example of the impact intelligent washroom technology can have is the Radisson RED Hotel London Heathrow.
As part of its sustainability strategy and commitment towards achieving net zero targets, the hotel identified an opportunity to reduce water consumption within its communal washrooms. Following consultation and a monitored trial, Cistermiser’s Direct Flush Discreet (DFD) infrared sensor technology was installed on selected urinals.
The results were impressive:
Following the successful trial, the hotel commissioned additional installations across multiple washrooms.
Simon Pearson, Area Chief Engineer for UK and Ireland at Radisson Hotel Group, commented that the technology achieved the savings promised and would support the group’s wider sustainability objectives and net zero ambitions.
More recently, further washroom upgrades at the hotel have incorporated Cistermiser infrared sensor taps and water management technologies to enhance efficiency, hygiene and guest experience while supporting ongoing sustainability goals. Early monitoring indicated water consumption reductions of up to 70% in refurbished areas.
