greenspec approved and QUALIFIES FOR leed Credits

The XLERATOR® is the first hand dryer ever to be awarded GreenSpec® designation by the editors of Environmental Building News.  XLERATOR meets a number of GreenSpec standards; it conserves energy, has low maintenance requirements and reduces waste. More simply put, XLERATOR makes your restrooms better for the planet.

Read the article on XLERATOR featured in Environmental Building News

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building Rating System is a/the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operations of high performance green buildings.

The XLERATOR® is also the first hand dryer to qualify for LEED® credits. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. All hand dryers save trees and are a great source reduction alternative; but the XLERATOR also saves energy! This is why XLERATOR qualifies for LEED credits in two categories:

  • EA Credit 1 - Optimize Energy Performance

  • EA Prerequisite 2 - Minimum Energy Performance

XLERATOR clearly outperforms conventional dryers but how does it compare to paper towels?

 

The results, as shown in the table to the right, show that just on the basis of energy use electric hand dryers are far better, without even considering the many other environmental impacts of the manufacture and disposal of paper, including resource depletion, water pollution, and solid waste.
