在COVID-19中，机场的新常态意味着对洗手间的建设变得聪明，并使用设计使其尽可能无触摸。已经在美国某些主要地点进行了测试的技术借给大流行后机场装置。

其高级客户计划经理Jonathan Dejesus表示，在达拉斯福特市政机场（DFW），洗手间将进行重建或改造。“无触摸技术对于当前的洗手间设计和未来的洗手间设计，对DFW机场都很重要。”

Dejesus表示，未来10年中终端洗手间的最重要设计更改将包括“更换固定装置/饰面的机会，增加满足需求的额外能力，右尺寸的洗手间/条目/正方形/平方英尺，并继续合并智能洗手间具有未来增强功能的技术。”

他没有DFW项目出价的日期。新利18备用网址他说，工作的成本和设计因机场规模和项目范围而异。“这项工作是一项巨大的工作，因为DFW拥有130多个洗手间，其中包括800多个摊位和560个水槽。我们希望在未来几年内实现这一目标。” Dejesus说。

DeJesus补充说，在大流行危机中，DFW希望“将厕所设施更具弹性，但要使“将客户互动最小化的设计”，Dejesus补充说。DFW称其自己的智能技术转换为“不断发展的体验”，因为旅行者希望有一个清洁，安全的设施可以充满信心。转换的第一阶段预计将于2020年完成。

“The touchless experience needs a design that shifts the focus from amenities to expanded and enhanced sanitation and safeguard processes,” DeJesus says.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was the first airport in the nation to construct smart restrooms when it partnered with Infax, a provider of innovative software solutions. Atlanta Airlines Terminal Co., the firm that manages airport facilities, spent $265,000 to go touchless earlier this year with additional touchless development happening in the next 10 years, a spokesperson said.

In June, Los Angeles World Airports and Tooshlights announced a pilot program of smart restrooms in one of the city airport terminals. The smart restroom pilot program of the Tooshlights system includes more than 20 smart restroom stalls, which will work similarly to parking garage lights. Each unit consists of a smart latch and indicator light. When the stall is available, the light is green. When the stall is occupied, and the smart latch activated, the light turns red. There are also blue indicator lights for ambulatory stalls.

Tooshlights将为Infax提供特定于特定场所的数据，该数据使机场官员可以跟踪洗手间摊位的占用使用情况。

The American Restroom Association wants airport designs that include gender-neutral multi-stall toilet facilities with sinks in a common area, as well as hand sanitizer availability, says Executive Director Tim Pyle. “Airports can make modest gains with just small enhancements. Recently [Chicago] O’Hare updated some restrooms with very solid, new, full-height stalls with touchless soap, water and hand dryers at each sink," he says. "O’Hare was already ahead of the curve with its traditional floor-to-ceiling stall doors.".
