How to achieve energy savings in a laundry?

ahorro energetico lavanderia

Energy consumption is one of the biggest problems in the laundry sector, as it represents an operational cost that impacts both profitability and the environment. Therefore, implementing energy saving strategies in the laundry will reduce these costs and improve the efficiency and sustainability of the laundry.

What is energy saving in a laundry?

Energy saving in a laundry refers to the practices and technologies that are implemented to reduce energy consumption without affecting the quality of the processed laundry. In a laundry, energy expenditure largely encompasses the use of washing machines, tumble dryers and ironers. By implementing energy saving measures, the use of this equipment is optimised, reducing operating costs and minimising the environmental footprint. 

Energy saving measures in laundries

It is very important to achieve energy savings in a laundry. Therefore, here are some energy saving measures that can help laundries to operate in an efficient and more sustainable way:

High efficiency washing and drying equipment

Washing and drying equipment is the main factor to be taken into account for energy savings in a laundry. Investing in energy-efficient equipment with energy efficiency certifications can significantly reduce water and energy use. Also, it is important to use ecological and optimised washing programmes with less time and energy and to adjust drying cycles to the needs of the load. 

Reduction of water consumption

Water reduction systems, such as our ECOTANK water recovery tanks, save between 45% and 70% of water, optimising washing processes with greater efficiency.

Energy consumption control

DOMUS IoT technology allows for a high level of control thanks to the analysis of reports on production, cycles, consumption, income, etc. Through the DOMUSCONNECT platform, the laundry owner can obtain key data to optimise washing and drying times, ensure the quality of the processes, guarantee hygiene and disinfection of each wash and/or dryer.

Preventive maintenance of equipment

Keeping equipment in good condition seems obvious. However, checking that filters and ducts are clean, equipment is kept in good condition and maintaining ventilation systems will allow equipment to function optimally and consume less energy.

Sustainable equipment

At DOMUS we have a goal: to achieve the perfect balance between INNOVATION, EFFICIENCY and SAVING. That is why our efficient ECO-ENERGY equipment is the best option for energy saving in a laundry.

Benefits of energy saving in a laundry

Implementing energy saving measures in a laundry will not only reduce costs, but will also bring multiple benefits such as:

Positive environmental impact

Including measures that help to reduce electricity and water consumption help to reduce the carbon footprint, thereby reducing energy and greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to climate change.

Sustainable technology such as water recycling or the use of solar panels help to preserve the environment by optimising resources.

 

Cost reduction

Energy saving measures in a laundry have a direct impact on costs, as reducing electricity and water consumption automatically reduces costs.

Regulatory Compliance

Many countries have increasingly demanding legislation and regulations on energy efficiency and sustainability. Therefore, implementing these energy saving measures allows the laundry to comply with current regulations, avoiding possible penalties. In addition, some governments offer incentives and tax benefits to companies that invest in technology and energy savings. Therefore, complying with regulations not only avoids legal problems, but also improves the reputation of the business thanks to its environmental commitment and responsibility. 

Optimisation of equipment and processes

Energy saving measures in laundries not only promote a more efficient use of equipment, but also extend its lifetime and reduce maintenance costs. As a result, equipment requires fewer repairs in the long run.
