Description
Žygimantas Jasiūnas and co-authors publish a data set on home laundry energy use in a 2026 paper. Washers and dryers eat a large share of household power. Labels promise efficiency, but real use turns on habits and settings, which past data sets mostly ignore. Their collection, LARCO, records machines in both a lab and real homes.
Sensors logged energy, water, temperature, and humidity once per second, with faster streams for vibration and sound. Loads, programs, and room conditions varied widely. Lab runs give exact ground truth; home runs show real-world spread. Each record carries the settings that produced it. The authors aim the data at efficiency studies, behavior modeling, and personal energy feedback. They hope it helps close the gap between label values and lived consumption.
