EAST LONGMEADOW, MASS.—XLERATOR high-speed, energy-efficient hand dryers are now available with ADA compliant stainless steel paper towel dispenser retrofit kits. The new kits provide a simple, cost-effective solution for replacing built-in paper towel dispensers with XLERATOR hand dryers. A stainless steel panel allows the dryers to mount where dispensers existed. XLERATOR completely dries hands in 10 to 15 seconds—three times faster than conventional dryers. It uses 80 percent less energy and delivers a 95 percent cost savings versus paper towels, while creating a more hygienic restroom.
“XLERATOR hand dryers and retrofit kits are being specified by facility managers who are looking for ways to help trim the cost, maintenance and waste associated with paper towels and while taking significant step towards greening their facilities,” said William Gagnon, vice president of marketing and key accounts, Excel Dryer.
The newest technologies in high-efficiency plumbing products and fixtures for sustainable restroom design are featured in Excel Dryer’s latest CEU course, Next Generation Green Restroom Design, a featured education unit in the U.S. Green Building Council’s new virtual tour program. “By collaborating with the USGBC we hope to provide architects, specifiers and building professionals with a blueprint of best practices to help design sustainable restrooms of the future,” Gagnon said.
Developed with Sloan Valve, a manufacturer of water-efficient solutions for the plumbing industry, the AIA/CSI/GBCI approved education unit highlights how high-efficiency hand dryers and plumbing fixtures can help reduce maintenance and cost while delivering the lowest environmental impact.
The course also includes information on the practical, economic and environmental benefits of high-speed energy-efficient hand dryers and water use trends.
