WHITBY FREE PRESS How to Plan Stylish, Yet Energy-Efficient Kitchen and Laundry: When remodeling or building a new home, chances are that energy- efficiency wilI play a major role in the plans. Recent surveys have shown that new home buyers rank energy-efficiency as a higher priority than such optional features as a f ire- place. Rooms where ener- gy saving is especially important are the major appliance centers- kitchens and laundries. To help consumers plan kitchens and laundries that are both energy-eff"icient and attractive, Maytag has published a new, 16-page book, "Kitchen and Laundry Designs for the. '80s- Low on Energy, High on Style." The book features floor plans and equipment selection tips that can help reduce utility bills and streamline the physical ef fort that goes into performing house- hold tasks. Saving time is becoming almost as important as keeping utility costs in line. Families, particularly those where both parents work, have less time than ever before ýto accomplish such routine tasks as kitch- en cleanup and doing the laundry., To help explain energy and time-saving ideas, the book features four con- temporary kitchen and laundry designs using dif- ferent housing styles: a condominium in the city; a tract homfe in the suburbs; a larger, older, two-story home in a small town; and a new, smaller home, where a couple nearing re- tirement plans to live. The book offers sugges- 'tions that can hielp con- PULL-OUT SECTION sumers make the right decisions in designing and equipping new kitchens and laundries. In addition to the floorý plans and. detailed discus- sions on the proper selec- tion, use and care of major appliances, the book con- tains an energy audit that consumers can use to rate the energy-efficiency of their homes.
