US DOE makes an assumption that the average household does 8 loads of laundry a week. I can't imagine doing that much,and have long wondered how this could be with the majority of US households consisting of one or two people - but if I did that much laundry, the logistics of drying them in the house could be a challenge. But at one load every ten days (= 3-person household), we've found that drying them inside in the winter and outside in the summer is a breeze. <br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Leaky houses, on the other hand, tend to get very dry in the winter and hanging laundry might be a good passive humidifier. </div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>that would depend on your climate.
