In this lighthearted yet informative episode of The Build Show, Travis Brungardt dives into the overlooked but essential topic of portable toilets on job sites. He highlights job site etiquette, particularly the frustration when non-crew individuals (like delivery drivers) use the limited toilet facilities, leaving them unstocked or unsanitary. Travis also shares building science insights, explaining how ventilation systems in portable toilets work using the stack effect and aerobic heat generation to manage odors. His practical advice? Close the toilet seat to allow smells to vent properly and maintain a better onsite experience for everyone.
