Efficiency Opportunities in Multifamily Common Area Laundry Facilities

A study on existing multifamily laundry landscape

The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future (SAHF) are collaborating in support of the Energy Efficiency for All (EEFA) initiative to study the existing multifamily laundry landscape and provide facts related to common-area laundry facilities in twelve states that are the focus areas for the EEFA initiative: California, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia. The study also includes recommendations to utilities on how to incentivize water savings.
