The building was touted by the state as the greenest high-rise in the nation when it opened in 2001.
--
The building has had some heating and cooling and leaking issues too .. bet that place smelled real ripe in spots.

has received hundreds of complaints over the years about foul odors Ah yes, a symptom also experienced by the wonderful "if it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down" ludites who don't know how to properly use a toilet (flush after every usage).
To: NormsRevenge

Hey, we now have waterless urinals all over Arizona in the form of plastic bottles containing yellow fluid, discarded along the interstate, ever since the state closed the rest stops due to budgest short-falls!

Something is odd about this, if the cartridge is replaced at intervals and the janitors spray the inside of the urinal every night, then where are the odors coming from.
What would the urinal have to do with wet floors?
My plumbing supply warehouse has been using these for years, none of us plumbers and plumbing contractors have seen that problem.
I think the maintenance crew is just too locked into old Mexico ways to perform their duties.

Wasn’t Al Gore behind these waterless urinals too?
To: Hazwaste
If somebody tied Al Gore to said tree would it still work?

my colleges uber green new tech building has several of those things. They reek and drip and probably cost a fortune to put in. Money which could have been spent on computers which aren’t dell crapware.
To: NormsRevenge
Yep, I remember when they had those long troughs in the bar bathroom. The smell was unmistakable.

But in Chicago they were installed in buildings with copper drain pipes, required by the city's code. The undiluted urine rotted out the pipes and the urine drained directly into the walls and eventually out onto floors.

I’ve noticed that buildings where they have installed these have slowly acquired an outhouse smell that just does not go away
