Abstract
The New Zealand Works Consultancy Services was contracted to study of the number of sanitary facilities to be provided in buildings, in order to revise the tables in the New Zealand Building Code. A very extensive data-gathering exercise to predict occupancy times and demand for various kinds of buildings was carried out. Simple queueing models proved to be the most appropriate tools Jor use to estimate the waiting times that the new standards would produce. While the aim of the project was to produce consistent standards, a preliminary analysis indicated the new standards might produce savings with a NPV of about $80 million.
