It really depends on the building. I've seen some older office buildings with 2-4 toilets per floor. Not sure how those can be retrofitted for more capacity...

- rightbyte 3y agoMy point is that people don't poop or pee less at the office (I guess?), so those 2-4 toilets should be flushed about as much as if they all lived there and had a toilet each. And offices have more people per sq feet, so residential conversions should not flood the pipes. Although showers could mess up my 'theory'. But the sewer from those is easier to get flowing than toilettes I guess.
- CapstanRoller 3y agoWhat you're saying makes sense. However, I think the capacity requirements for water/sewer are determined by law, much like the hard requirement that habitable residential spaces must have egress windows. In the USA there are similar laws around septic systems for detached houses, where the capacity/size of the septic system is determined by the number of bedrooms in the house.
