Portable clothes drying racks - KBCN0164
Portable clothes drying racks are not compliant.
These are not a fixed feature of the built asset and could be removed or moved to rooms which are not sufficiently ventilated.
Towel rails - KBCN00081
Towel rails cannot count towards the drying line requirements.
Clothes drying lines are provided to reduce the need to tumble drying clothes, which uses a lot of energy. Using towel rails to dry clothes would require the potentially damp towels to be stored while the clothes dry. This is inconvenient and therefore means the aim of the credit is less likely to be met.
