Meeting Green Building Standards with Commercial Laundry Solutions

Sustainability is an important factor when owning and operating an apartment building in New York City, but as the owner or property manager, it’s important to find ways to make your building greener while reducing waste, lowering electricity usage, and ensuring that water usage is efficient.

If you have a communal laundry room, outdated washers and dryers can have a negative effect on your attempts at reducing energy and water usage. Partnering with a commercial laundry solutions company like Automatic Industries can help you enhance your sustainable efforts with your building’s laundry room.

Why Sustainability Matters with Your Laundry Equipment

Older washers and dryers consume a significant amount of water and electricity, which can lead to an increase in your utility bills and have a higher environmental impact. New machines are designed with efficiency in mind and can help limit the use of water and electricity without compromising performance. These washers use less water per cycle and extract more moisture from fabrics, which helps dryers complete their functions quickly while using less energy.

Smart Technology Helps Boost Efficiency

Modern commercial laundry solutions offer advanced technology that helps benefit both property owners and tenants. They offer high-efficiency wash and dry cycles, moisture detection, remote monitoring, usage analytics and diagnostics, service alerts, and digital payment options.

These features add convenience for the users and owners and can help you stay ahead of any maintenance issues or emergency repairs, allowing you to act quickly to reduce downtime and help lengthen the machine’s longevity.

Modern Machines Support Green Building Initiatives

Green building initiatives focus on conservation of resources by reducing waste and consumption. While laundry rooms are simply part of the whole building, upgrading to modern machines can assist with enhancing greener initiatives and sustainability efforts, effectively helping properties by:

Minimizing utility costs
Lower consumption of gas and electricity
Reducing water usage
Decreasing equipment downtime
Extending the lifespan of building equipment and infrastructure

In-unit laundry machines use up the most water, but centralized laundry rooms use three times less water, and when paired with highly efficient machines, it ensures that you’re not wasting a drop of water or any electricity.

Sustainable & Convenient Option for Tenants

While modern laundry machines help assist you in enhancing your sustainable efforts with the building, it also adds convenience for your tenants. Through faster cycles, reliable availability, cashless and mobile payment options, and consistent performance, tenants will be pleased with the machines that they count on to wash and dry their clothes. This can help strengthen tenant retention and even make your building more appealing to future residents.
