Engineering Insights: Infrared and Capacitive Sensors in Heavy-Duty Commercial Faucets
Modern commercial and institutional restrooms treat sensor faucets as infrastructure, not fixtures. For architects and engineers, the choice between infrared (IR) and capacitive sensing is less about “touchless convenience” and more about reliability under abuse, coordinated integration with plumbing and electrical systems, and documented compliance with codes and standards (ADA, WaterSense, CALGreen, ASME/CSA).
