Many consumers will turn on the faucet for several seconds as they wait for hot water to be provided which can be inherently wasteful, so the 'Smart Faucet' concept by Bojian Han looks to curb the need for this unnecessary waste.
Designed using CAD software Rhinoceros, the faucet is outfitted with an onboard temperature display that will provide users with the ability to customize the water that comes out to their exact specifications. The faucet also features a built-in heater that will provide hot water for the first 10 seconds that it's on, which eliminates the need to run water endlessly just to access it.
The 'Smart Faucet' concept identifies what can be done to create products that are both customizable and efficient to satisfy consumer preferences.
