4 Laundry Room Types

CENTRALIZED LAUNDRY ROOMS (High-rise buildings with apartments, condos, co-ops) The equipment can be concentrated in a convenient central area located in the building. The larger space requirement can expand the services to residents with variable sized washer-extractors with bigger load capacities, expanded vending concessions, folding tables and comfortable waiting areas similar to on-street coin laundries. For high-rise buildings with a central laundry room, one washer and dryer set is recommended for every 20 living units.

DE-CENTRALIZED LAUNDRY ROOMS (High-rise or low-rise buildings for apartments, condos, co-ops) De-centralized laundry rooms reside in one or more locations within the property or building. Rooms generally are equipped with matching washers and dryers. Usually these establishments are amenity oriented, offering folding tables and vending machines for the tenant’s convenience. One washer and one dryer is recommended for every 8 to 12 living units.

ON-FLOOR LAUNDRY ROOMS (Low-rise or garden-style buildings) For garden apartments, matching washer and dryer pairs are the most customer convenient layout. One washer and one dryer is recommended for every 8 to 12 apartment units.

5 Laundry Room Types Cont.

MILITARY HOUSING Centralized laundry rooms with commercial ENERGY STAR® qualified front load washers and matching dryers for military personnel. Non-metered (free start) equipment is usually required by military. One washer and one dryer pocket is recommended for every 20 military personnel.

COLLEGE RESIDENCE HALLS Centralized laundry rooms are conve- niently located in residence halls with top or front load washers and matching dryers. For student residence halls, one washer and one dryer is recommended for every 30 to 40 students.

IN-APARTMENT For ultimate customer convenience, placement of laundry units is within the apartment, with top or front load washer and matching dryer. One washer and one dryer is recommended per unit.

6 Equipment Sizing Ratios

Equipment Guidelines by Property Type One Set is defined as one top load or front load washer paired with one dryer pocket, or one stacked washer/dryer If multiple sets are needed, use the following examples as your guide: Examples of Multiple Sets

2 ea. top load/front load washers ...... with ...... 1 ea. stacked dryer (= 2 dryer pockets) 2 ea. top load/front load washers ...... with ...... 2 ea. single load dryers (= 2 dryer pockets) 2 ea. top load/front load washers ...... with...... 1 ea. tumbler dryer (1 tumbler pocket = 2 dryer pockets)

One Washer/Dryer Set is Recommended For the Following: Property Type Number of Living Units High-rise building ...... 20 to 25 living units Low-rise or garden building ...... 8 to 12 living units Co-ops, condominiums ...... 8 to 12 living units Senior citizen centers ...... 50 residents Military housing ...... 20 military personnel College residence halls ...... 30 to 40 students Guest services ...... 50 rooms In-apartment ...... 1 set per unit

Equipment Guidelines by Property Demographics*

Predominant Resident Profile Washers & Dryers (W/D) Per Using Unit Families ...... 1 pair W/D per 8 to 12 units Young working adults ...... 1 pair W/D per 10 to 15 units Older working adults ...... 1 pair W/D per 5 to 20 units Students ...... 1 pair W/D per 25 to 40 students Senior citizens ...... 1 pair W/D per 25 to 40 units

Determine the number of machines your community needs by adding all units without an in-unit washer/dryer and divide in half the units with in-unit laundry connectons. These figures are based on the predominant resident profile. Adjust according to your particular profile mix.

Provi- sions should be made for periodic lint removal and cleaning of the main collector duct.

6. If several dryers are exhausted into a main collector duct, it is essential that ductwork be adequate in size and properly constructed for efficient operation. Provisions for make-up air must be provided. Each dryer exhausts approximately 220 cubic feet* (6.1 m3) of air per minute. * Measured at point of exit from the dryer.
