Abstract

A modular bathroom unit that includes a tub or shower with an abutting sink and toilet. The unit is energy saving by use of an integrated heat pump that captures heat from bath water and after heat removal uses the water for toilet flushing. Removed heat from the heat pump circuit may be used for hand washing. The unit features two or three linear sides that allow placement in closet-like spaces found in residential construction. To save space, the tub may be shaped with a narrow end for feet and a wider end for a human torso. Either the toilet or the sink may abut the narrow end of the tub.
