Commercial Touchless Fixture Brand Scoring for Airports & Hospitals
This methodology ranks commercial touchless fixture brands while using a 6-factor, weighted score. This study focuse specifaccly on uptime, maintainability, and system-level performance in high-traffic environments.
Airports & healthcare
Serviceability
Sensor logic
Power strategy
Vandal hardening
Specifier support
Scoring factors and weights
| Factor | Weight | What it measures in the field |
|---|---|---|
| Uptime + serviceability | 25% | Parts access, maintenance modes, commissioning speed, time-to-restore after issues. |
| Sensor performance | 20% | Stability under lighting/reflectivity changes, programmability, false-trigger tolerance. |
| Power strategy | 15% | The AC/DC/hybrid/self-power options and reduction of battery-related service calls. |
| Vandal/abuse hardening | 15% | Aims at below-deck control placement, timeouts, tamper resistance, stable behavior under abuse. |
| Ecosystem coverage | 15% | This is the ability to spec coordinated assemblies: faucet + soap + flush + dryers/adjacent products. |
| Specifier support | 10% | Focuses on configuration depth, spec sheets, submittals, install docs, and ordering clarity. |

Facility risk drivers
• continuous operation
• limited maintenance windows
6 factor scoring
Uptime, Sensor, Power
Vandal, Ecosystem, Spec
Weighted total
Normalize to /100
Comparable across brands
Interpretation guidance
Ops lens
Prioritize uptime, service
and power strategy
Typical: airports, hospitals
Specifier lens
Ecosystem + spec support
reduce coordination errors
Typical: AEC teams
Outcome
Lower downtime cost
and fewer callouts
