pesukierhos
Pesukierhos is a term used in discussions of sustainable laundry technology to describe a modular, shared-scale washing system intended for multi-user facilities. The concept envisions a network of compact, interchangeable washing modules connected to a central control unit, enabling coordinated cycles and the reuse of rinse water in a closed loop. By coupling water treatment, heat recovery, and smart load management, pesukierhos aims to reduce both water and energy consumption in settings such as co-housing, student residences, and apartment buildings.
Etymology: The word appears to be a compound, drawing on words for laundry in several languages and
Design and operation: Core components include modular drums or tubs, a central controller, a compact water treatment
Benefits and challenges: Potential benefits include reduced water usage, energy savings through heat recovery and efficient
Status and adoption: As of the mid-2020s, pesukierhos exists mainly as a research topic and pilot projects
