Conditions at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Albuquerque Intl Ap, NM station, about 5 miles away.
Conditions for Events
DOE's Building America map puts Bernalillo County in the Mixed-Dry climate region (IECC 2021 zone 4B, PNNL county guide). This region pairs cold winters with dry, often windy conditions, so securing units and planning for freezing nights both matter.
Freezing Nights
About 93 nights a year reach 32°F or below, more than most U.S. places in our data, mostly between late fall and early spring. Spring and fall events can still catch a freeze overnight; if units stay out between event days, ask how hand-wash stations are protected. Snow is light, about 8 inches in an average year.
Heat
About 64 days a year reach 90°F or more, more than three in four U.S. places in our data, most of them in the summer months. On sunny, dry sites, place units in shade where the site allows. For summer events, schedule servicing between event days and place restroom rows where the queue can stand in shade.
Outdoor Season
Both ends of the year matter: summer dates need servicing and shade planned for heat, winter dates need a plan for anything that carries water.
Local Settings
At open-field events on dry, exposed ground, ask for units to be staked.
How Many Units
The Portable Sanitation Association International (PSAI) chart sizes event restrooms by crowd and hours, assuming no servicing during the event:
| Crowd | 1 hr | 2 hrs | 3 hrs | 4 hrs | 5 hrs | 6 hrs | 7 hrs | 8 hrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 9 | 9 |
| 1,000 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 8 | 9 | 9 | 11 | 12 |
| 2,000 | 5 | 6 | 9 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 |
| 5,000 | 12 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 31 | 38 | 44 | 50 |
| 10,000 | 15 | 25 | 38 | 50 | 63 | 75 | 88 | 100 |
For a summer event in Albuquerque, take 2,000 people over four hours: the chart gives 12 units. If alcohol is served, PSAI adds 10–20%, which is 14 to 15 units after rounding up. For accessibility, 5% of 15 is 0.75, which rounds up to 1 ADA unit in a single cluster; split into 2 clusters of 8 and 7, each cluster needs its own, so 2 ADA units in total.
Put hand-wash stations and shade at each row for summer dates. See the PSAI event chart for the full table.
Placement and Access
Put restroom rows on firm, level ground the service truck can reach, away from food prep, with ADA units on an accessible route and hand-wash stations beside the rows.
Dry, Windy Sites
Only about 9 inches of precipitation falls in an average year, in the driest tenth of U.S. places in our data. At open-air fairs, races and lots, a tipped unit is a hazard; ask for anchoring on exposed sites.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Albuquerque is an incorporated city with its own municipal government. For a special event on public property, a park reservation, or restroom rows on a street or sidewalk, ask the Albuquerque city government before you book what applies.
What to Ask For
- Expected attendance, including staff, vendors and volunteers
- Event hours, and whether it runs over several days
- Whether alcohol or food will be served
- ADA units for every cluster (at least 5%, rounded up) and hand-wash stations
- Winterized hand-wash stations for cold-season dates
- Extra servicing on hot days
