Energy saved from line drying clothes

[pikiche]

Hey everyone,
Im trying to calculate how much money can you save by line drying clothes inside a well isolated apartment instead of using an electrical dryer. I just need a kick start on what i need to take in consideration. the apartment has an ac and heater for summer and winter, and the apartment is at 75 F. I know that when the water is going to evaporate from the clothes and probably make the apartment cooler, i don't if the temperature change is going to be small enough to the point where it could be ignored. I also know that we need to calculate the work done by the A/C unit since the water evaporating has to be condensed. Any help will be much appreciated

. Thanks in advance</code>To calculate the money saved by line-drying clothes, you will need to consider the following factors:The cost of electricity for an electric dryerThe amount of time it takes to line-dry clothesThe amount of energy required to cool and/or heat the air in the apartment to compensate for the evaporated water from the clothes.To estimate the energy required to cool and/or heat the air in the apartment, you will need to consider the following factors:The size of the apartmentThe type of insulation usedThe temperature outside the apartmentThe amount of water evaporated from the clothesYou can then use these estimates to calculate the amount of energy (in kWh) required to maintain a comfortable temperature in the apartment and compare it to the cost of running an electric dryer.
