At present whenever a user does a load of laundry an electric or gas dryer expells humidified heated air to the outside, pulling household air in to replace the vented exhaust. I realize there are other methods of dying clothes that are less resource intensive, but for the the present the clothes dryer is an excepted fixture in America. Does anyone have a suggestion to reclaim some of this heat and humidity to the back inside of the home while not getting the "lint" from the dryer in the process? I know here in the Northeast home owners spend hundreds of dollars a month to heat and humidify homes through the winter months. It seems an awful waste to be just throwing this energy outside and then heating and humidifying more air to make the inside of our homes comfortable. Thanks, jeff young (jyoung@banyan.com) Westboro, MA
