Zygimantas Jasiunas, a PhD student supervised by Pedro M. Ferreira and José Cecílio, published the paper titled “Household Laundry Appliance Resource Consumption and Operation Dataset” in the journal “Scientific Data,” which has an impact factor of 6.9 and ranks in the top 5% of the Scimago Journal Ranking. The LARCO dataset bridges the gap between official energy labels and actual appliance performance and efficiency by providing high-resolution, open-access data on washing machines and dryers. By capturing real-world user behaviour and operational conditions, it enables advanced studies on household resource efficiency and personalised energy feedback.
