Marriott Design Standards Module 14 < INSTANT - OVERVIEW >
Marriott Design Standards: Module 14 the global corporate standard for Fire Protection and Life Safety
- Active leak detection: Every guestroom bathroom must have a discrete moisture sensor behind the toilet and under the vanity. These tie into the BMS (Building Management System).
- Shut-off valves: If a leak exceeds 0.5 GPM for 10 continuous minutes, the room’s water supply must automatically shut off, and engineering receives an alert.
- Grey water reuse (optional but incentivized): For resorts and large convention hotels, Module 14 outlines standards for capturing shower and lavatory grey water for toilet flushing or irrigation. Marriott offers a 10% reduction in annual royalty fees for 5 years for properties that implement certified grey water systems.
