  • ADVISORY NOTICE 04/18 BUILDING Advisory Notices Are Issued to Assist in the Interpretation of the Development Act 1993 September 2018
    ADVISORY NOTICE 04/18 BUILDING Advisory Notices are issued to assist in the interpretation of the Development Act 1993 September 2018 TECHNICAL: Laundry facilities in residential buildings This Advisory Notice provides information about installing clothes washing facilities in kitchen areas of Class 1, 2 and 4 buildings. BACKGROUND Recent trends in residential developments have lead to limited space being available for separate clothes washing facilities in many houses and apartments. As a result, facilities for clothes washing that do not meet legislative requirements are frequently being installed in kitchen or bathroom areas, rather than being provided in a separate laundry room or space. This raises health concerns because often the required laundry washtub is not being provided and the relevant waterproofing and plumbing standards are not being adhered to. DISCUSSION The relevant performance requirements for health and amenity in the National Construction Code (NCC) require the following for Class 1, 2 and 4 buildings- laundry facilities or space for laundry facilities and the means for sanitary disposal of waste water from those facilities to be provided in a convenient location within or associated with the building to enable occupants to carry out laundering; and food preparation facilities that include a means for food rinsing, utensil washing and the sanitary disposal of associated waste water; a means of cooking food; and a space for food preparation; and protection for wet areas of bathrooms, laundries and kitchens to prevent- o water penetrating behind fittings and linings or into concealed spaces which could cause damage to building elements or create unhealthy conditions; and o accidental water overflow penetrating adjoining rooms or spaces; and o water accumulating on floors of laundries and bathrooms that could cause unhealthy or dangerous conditions.

    EX TENSION BULLETIN .l4.} APRIL, 1~.}~ EFFICIENT LAUNDRY METHODS • • • EFFICIENT LAUNDRY METHODS · By Esther Pond Extension Econom~st in Home Management State College ·of Washington The ambition of every woman who does the family washing is to produce clean, white clothes without becoming tired. The satisfaction of having clean clothes without fatigue, is the result of management. If a homemaker will study herself, her methods and her equipment and undertake to achieve efficiency, she will find that the whole laundry process can be interesting and scien­ tific. The woman who finishes the task fatigued and who, for a medium-sized family, has spent more than three hours at it, is not taking advantage of .the things which are hers for the plan­ ning. Planning for the Wash Day Each woman must decide which day of the week is best for her wash day. For some, Tuesday seems better than Monday for it gives an opportunity on the day before to get ready some of the things which clutter up the wash day. For others, there may be a better day of the week, which fits in with other things to be done. The important thing· is to keep the same day of each week for wash day, unless something else of more importance necessitates a change in days. Other household tasks must be planned around the washing, too. Bed linens should be changed on cleaning day or the day before wash day rather than on the day. itself. The idea of putting the bed linen back on the beds after washing may appeal to many but it is not efficient.

  • Green Solutions and Sustainability in Textile Industry
    www.fibre2fashion.com Green Solutions and Sustainability in Textile Industry By: Harshita Chaudhary 1 www.fibre2fashion.com Green Solutions and Sustainability in Textile Industry By: Harshita Chaudhary Carbon emissions contribute significantly to climate change which is being increasingly recognized as a major challenge. It is widely accepted that the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by humans are having a negative impact on the environment. A way to track one’s greenhouse gas emissions is to be aware of your carbon footprint. Carbon footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases produced, expressed as CO2 equivalent, measured in kilograms (kg) or tonnes. The textile industry is considered as the most ecologically harmful industry in the world. The clothing and textile industry is huge. Environmental impacts occur at every stage of the life cycle of a product. The garment industry has contributed to the global warming from the stage of growing of the fibres, yarn fabrication, fabric manufacture, wet processing and manufacturing of the garment, its distribution and transportation to stores and customers, its use by the consumers and finally the disposal of the product. STAGE I: Raw Materials (Fibers) Contributors to carbon footprint Cotton cultivation requires large amount of pesticides, fertilisers and water.
