- Manufactured in the USA, the hand dryer company also holds a Schedule Contract by the GSA
– The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (also known as the Stimulus Bill) has been approved and includes an estimated $4.5 billion to convert and renovate federal facilities into high-performance, green buildings. This puts companies like Excel Dryer, Inc., a manufacturer of the high-speed, energy efficient XLERATORÒ hand dryer, in prime position to help government contractors and architects make restrooms in federal buildings more environmentally friendly.
The objective of the Stimulus Bill is to improve the economy and to make government facilities ‘green’. The installation of XLERATOR® hand dryers accomplishes both. XLERATOR will lower the carbon footprint of any federal facility, has a payback period of less than one year and is the only hand dryer that is MADE IN USA Certified®, so the Stimulus Bill money will be spent here in the
Unlike conventional hand dryers, which average 30 to 45 seconds of drying time, Excel Dryer’s XLERATOR hand dryer completely dries hands 3 times faster (in 10-15 seconds) and uses 80% less energy than conventional hand dryers. XLERATOR also delivers a 95% cost savings when compared to paper towels, is the first hand dryer to achieve GreenSpec® approval and helps facilities qualify for LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) credits by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Excel is also the first hand dryer manufacturer to be awarded a Schedule Contract by the General Services Administration offering reduced prices to the government. XLERATOR is MADE IN Certified, energy efficient, represents a major cost savings and is an excellent source reduction alternative. Under the Schedules Program (also referred to as Multiple Award Schedules and Federal Supply Schedules), the GSA establishes long-term government-wide contracts with commercial firms to provide access to over 10 million commercial supplies and services at volume discount prices.
“With new grants approved daily, federal contractors, architects, and specifiers are looking for products that meet a high level of environmental standards and can be easily installed into new facilities or retrofitted into older ones,“ said William Gagnon, director of marketing, Excel Dryer, Inc. “The Schedule Contract also ensures federal contractors that XLERATOR meets the GSA’s stringent price and quality guidelines, while promoting better environmental responsibility.”
Currently, XLERATOR is installed in a variety of busy, high traffic restrooms, including high-profile federal destinations such as the United States Green Building Council’s headquarters in , several facilities in the US Army, US Air Force, US Coast Guard and several international airports. XLERATOR is also the official hand dryer specification of the U.S. Navy vessels.
