energy star follows and leads. there were no "clothes dryers" in
Energy Star because it wasn't about drying clothes but about the
available white goods (appliances) and identifying the better
performers. since only one white goods technology was available
there was nothing to differentiate through Energy Star, ergo no
Energy Star dryers. but if you are talking about drying clothes it
is a whole different matter.<br>
<br>
even in high rises we could have alternatives, like those drying
rooms mentioned elsewhere in this thread, both/and utilizing the
superior wind resources and solar exposure, and other energy flows
within that building system.<br>

The tinyurl's aren't working for some reason. But the problem here
-- and
I would guess for many others in apartments -- is one of space
and,
secondarily, aesthetics. We use racks and furniture and barely
have room
to dry handwash. Could never fit regular wash with sheets, towels,
etc.<br>
<br>
I wish we had the old solution, which was a pole placed in the
back yard
of the building so that all the rear facing apt's could attach
clotheslines from their windows to the pole. And that, of course,
wouldn't work with high rises.<br>
