Drying method can affect energy use; return to use must meet the approved hygiene standard.

Shift measurement

  • Wash exit
  • Drying method
  • Result against criterion
  • Time and energy record

Compare methods. Assess draining, air movement or controlled heat as permitted by site procedure. Record dryness and return-to-use acceptance against the defined hygiene criterion.

Decision boundary. Energy reduction is not a saving if hygiene criteria fail. Correct the process and reassess against the same criterion.
