The Department of Energy (DOE), the citizens from Bern, Kansas, Maytag
Corporation, the Bureau of Reclamation, and the Kansas Rural Water Association
cooperated to measure water and energy savings derived from using high-efficiency,
horizontal-axis (h-axis) washing machines in a demonstration project in Bern. Maytag
provided new machines to participants' homes in and around Bern - a town that
has historically suffered from water shortages. The townspeople participated
by recording information to determine water and energy savings from using
the new machines. The objectives of this project were: to evaluate the energy
and water savings of high-efficiency washers in a community converted to the new design;
to demonstrate the findings; and, to help develop information to support moving the
current clothers washer market to higher efficiency options. Includes table, figures.
