National Laundry Day And More In Info To Go

Laundromat Berwyn, UNITED STATES: WORLD'S LARGEST LAUNDROMAT RUNS ON SOLAR POWER: A long row of laundry dryers are shown 01 June, 2006 at the self-proclaimed "World Largest Laundromat" 01 June 2006 in Berwyn, Illinois. The laundry operates 145 washing machines and 125 dryers and is open 24 hours a day. Located on the roof of the laundromat, 24 solar collectors displace an average of 1.4 million British Thermal Units of natural gas per day for washing clothes, saving USD 2,000 per month. Representing about 60 percent of the energy required for heating water at the facility, conventional gas-fired water heaters provide the remainder. Over the course of a year, the solar system heats 300,000 gallons of water to 120 degrees and, according to Solar Service, is expected to operate for 30 years.
