Typical heat output from washers and dryers?

[mjhollen]

Anyone have a good rule of thumb for this type of equipment? ASHRAE seems to focus on kitchen appliances and office equipment, nothing for laundry appliances.

I assume pmover's numbers are the energy draw. You may have to do a little more digging to find the heat dissipated in the room, since much of the dryer heat is vented to the exterior and hot water is drained away.
