World's Largest Laundromat uses Solar Hot Water
Report from Blog dedicated to the green lifestyle (TreeHugger). On the roof there are 36 solar hot water panels. Inside are a 157 washing machines and 145 dryers. So it's big. Maybe not still living up to its moniker of the "World's Largest Laundromat." But the aspect that gets our attention is that the panels, installed by Solar Service, save the laundry, in Berwyn, Chicago ³about $2,000 a month." They do this by displacing around 2 million Btu (British Thermal Units) of natural gas per day for washing clothes. The 40 square foot panels, arrayed in two banks, heat some 2,400 gallons (9,000+ litres) of water a day, which is about 20% of the laundromatıs needs. The laundry anticipates a return on investment of about 5 years. of page.
