Abstract

TORRES-HUGUES, Ronnie  and  FRESQUET-BLANCO, Ailime Lázara. Rainwater harvesting for toilet flood in high building in Vedado, Havana. riha [online]. 2019, vol.40, n.1, pp. 122-135. ISSN 1680-0338.

The main objective of this work is to establish the conceptual ideas for the rainwater harvesting system and interior hydraulic network to satisfy the toilet demand of a tall building. To do this a set of Cuban regulations was implemented as the relevant guide. Besides, definitions, main classifications and design methods to determine the network and the volume of rainwater reservoir were shown. As a new aspect, behavior of reservoir filling in many situations in which precipitation vary was simulated and the saving potential of each one was calculated.

Keywords : rainwater; toilet discharge; Rippl’s diagram; tall building.
