Fairmont Hotels and Resorts’ laundries are designed based upon the following criteria:<br />
a) Average load produced per room in (a) City Hotels is 25 lbs<br />
(11.4 kg) and in (b) Resorts is 38 lbs (17.2 kg, in (c) Hotels with<br />
Willow Stream Spa’s is 35 lbs (20.4 kg) and in (d) Resorts with<br />
Willow Stream Spa’s is 48 lbs (21.7 kg)<br />
b) Equipment to be designed to suit 100% occupancy based upon 1.2<br />
loads per washer and dryer per hour<br />
c) Laundry will operate 6 days per week and will be staffed 48 hours<br />
per week, although washmen’s shifts will be staggered to allow<br />
equipment to start early.<br />
The formula for calculating the area of the laundry production space and soil sort area is:<br />
a) City Hotel: Quantity of Guestrooms x 25 x 7 x 3.5 divided by 48,<br />
(b) Resort Hotel: Quantity of Guestrooms x 38 x 7 x 3.5 divided by<br />
48, (c) Hotels with Willow Stream Spa’s: Quantity of guestrooms<br />
x 35 x 7 x 3.5 divided by 48 and (d) Resorts with Willow Stream<br />
Spa’s: quantity of guest rooms x 48 x 7 x 35 divided by 48.<br />
b) The 3.5 ft 2 (0.32 m 2 )/lb./hour is calculated from 28 ft 2<br />
(0.26 m 2 )/lb./hour for laundry including laundry manager’s office<br />
and 0.7 ft 2 (0.07 m 2 )/lb./hour for linen chute discharge and soil sort<br />
