Assessment of Energy Efficiency Index and Consumption Analysis in Malaysian Commercial Laundry Operations

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: A comprehensive energy audit was conducted at a Commercial Laundry in Malaysia to investigate energy consumption patterns and efficiency. The study, carried out from March 2023 to March 2024, revealed that dryers were the primary energy consumers, accounting for 59% of total energy usage. Both washing machines and dryers were operating significantly above ideal consumption levels. Based on these findings, the study recommends equipment upgrades, optimization of operational practices, and implementation of regular maintenance schedules to achieve substantial energy savings and improve environmental sustainability in Malaysia's growing commercial laundry sector.
