About

This is a semester long project, to be adopted for a course, club or thesis project.
Ohio University students spend a great deal of time doing laundry in their residence halls. The washers and dryers are often used around the clock. While some students arrive on campus with a great deal of experience, others may not know how to start a load. What items can be washed together? How much detergent should one pour in the cap? How full do a fill the washer or dryer. Errors in any one of these areas could result in a service call. 
 

Intuitively, washing, and drying clothes and linens uses a great deal of chemicals, energy, and water. The purpose of this project is to find and quantify the impact of student laundry on campus sustainability, including the carbon footprint, and supply recommendations for reductions.
