EXCEL DRYER ANNOUNCES NEW SURFACE-MOUNTED,

ADA-COMPLIANT THINAIR HAND DRYER
New high-efficiency model features a speed and sound control, slimmer profile and uses 960 watts or
less
EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass.
Excel Dryer, Inc.
, manufacturer of the finest American made hand
dryers for over 50 years, featuring the high-speed, energy-efficient XLERATOR Hand Dryer,
introduces the new ThinAir Hand Dryer, a high-efficiency surface-mounted model that protrudes no
more than four inches from the wall making it ADA-Compliant. ThinAir dries hands in 15 seconds,*
operates on 960 watts and is a quick and easy retrofit solution for any facility looking to save money
and easily maintain a cleaner restroom.
The ThinAir Hand Dryer eliminates the need to recess the dryer into a restroom wall to achieve ADA
compliance, which is beneficial for facilities with walls that are difficult to modify, said Excel Dryer
Vice President of Marketing, William Gagnon. ThinAir has a lower cost of ownership than other hand
dryers, and is easier to install making it a cost effective and affordable option to facilities looking for
reliable performance and high efficiency.
ThinAir features a slimmer profile, adjustable speed and sound control, on/off heat, an antimicrobial
ABS cover and a washable pre-filter to extend the life of the unit. The speed and sound control can
adjust the operational sound level from 75 decibels down to 67 decibels, making it one of the quietest
dryers on the market. The on/off heat control brings the wattage down from 960 watts to as low as
333 watts with the heat turned off. As a sensor-activated, touch-free hand dryer, ThinAir reduces
touch points and decreases the risk of cross-contamination from users contacting potentially unclean
surfaces in a restroom. Optional MICROBAN Antimicrobial Wall Guards protect wall finishes from
excess water and are ideal for high-traffic restrooms. Wall Guards are both hygienic and easy to clean.
ThinAir hand dryers can be ordered in 110 to 240 volts in 60 Hz or 50 Hz for distribution worldwide.
Excel Dryer manufactures the only hand dryers that are Made in USA Certified, the first to be
GreenSpec Listed and also qualify for several LEED v4 Credits and Green Globes to meet corporate
or government sustainability goals.

Excel Dryer, Inc.
, manufacturer of the original, patented,
high-speed, energy-efficient XLERATOR Hand Dryer, is welcoming state Sen. Eric Lesser
(D-Longmeadow), co-chair of the state Joint Legislative Manufacturing Caucus, to tour the East
Longmeadow manufacturing facility Tuesday, Oct. 6. The tour of the Excel Dryer facility
coincides with state leaders kickoff of Manufacturing Month last week, which is intended to
highlight advancements in manufacturing and recognize local world-class manufacturing
companies like Excel Dryer. Lawmakers have scheduled a series of events throughout the state
each week of October. This week, legislators are focusing on manufacturing in western
Massachusetts, including the Pioneer Valley and the Berkshires.
An increase in high-tech manufacturing was one of Lessers top priorities during his senate
campaign in 2014. Earlier this year, he was chosen to lead the Joint Legislative Manufacturing
Caucus, a group of legislators who work to create opportunities for manufacturing in
Massachusetts.
There is no better place for state officials to mark Manufacturing Month than visiting one of our
regions most well-respected and well-known companies, Excel Dryer, said Lesser. We know
the path to middle class prosperity includes more jobs in manufacturing, and Excel Dryer
understands that too. That's why our visit is so important, both as a way to showcase our local
employers, and as a way for policymakers to learn more about the needs of this vital industry."
Last year, over 3,800 volunteer projects took place in communities around the world for the
third annual Green Apple Day of Service, generating school improvement projects in all 50
states and in 43 countries with the help of 36,000 volunteers.
Excel Dryer, based in East Longmeadow, has been manufacturing the finest American made
hand dryers for over 50 years, and revolutionized the industry by inventing the patented
XLERATOR Hand Dryer technology right in the heart of the Pioneer Valley. The XLERATOR is
the only hand dryer to be Made in USA Certified, following an extensive supply chain audit
that confirmed Excel Dryer and their suppliers passed detailed authentication by CERTIFIED,
Inc., the only independent, third-party certification source for Country of Origin Labeling
(COOL) in the world.
We welcome Sen. Lesser to tour our headquarters, where we manufacture, test and package
our products by hand, said Excel Dryer President, Denis Gagnon. Our longevity and the fact
that many of our employees have been with us for several decades is proof that the
manufacturing industry is alive and well in western Massachusetts. We are grateful for the
opportunity to share our success with our legislators.
Nearly 10 percent of all Massachusetts residents work in the manufacturing industry, according
to legislators. Excel Dryer employs nearly 50 people at their East Longmeadow headquarters.

GAME ON: EXCEL DRYER TO EXHIBIT AT GREEN SPORTS

ALLIANCE SUMMIT JUNE 29 JULY 1
East Longmeadow, MA June 29, 2015
Excel Dryer, Inc., manufacturer of the finest Made in
USA Certified hand dryers for more than 50 years including the original, patented, high-speed,
energy-efficient XLERATOR hand dryer, today announced they will exhibit at the fifth annual Green
Sports Alliance Summit at McCormick Place in Chicago, Monday, June 29 to Wednesday, July 1.
As the green movement grows in popularity, a number of sports teams including the New England
Patriots have placed an emphasis on providing more sustainable solutions in order to green their
facilities, said Vice President of Marketing at Excel Dryer, William Gagnon. The high-speed,
energy-efficient XLERATOR hand dryer helps sports teams achieve their sustainability goals while also
contributing to other main objectives: reducing costs, labor and maintenance, while improving the
stadiums appearance and fan experience.
The XLERATOR hand dryers can be found in a number of other sporting arenas and stadiums around
the globe, including: Wembley Stadium in London; the 2010 FIFA World Cup stadiums in South Africa;
Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals; Dodger Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Dodgers;
and Gillette Stadium and Fenway Park in Excel Dryers home state of Massachusetts, home to the New
England Patriots and Boston Red Sox.
The NFL currently has XLERATOR hand dryers installed at its New York headquarters, NFL Network
Studios in Los Angeles and is encouraging the use of high-speed, energy-efficient hand dryers at
stadiums as part of the leagues Green Initiative, said David Krichavsky, director of community
affairs, National Football League.
The XLERATOR dries hands three times faster (in 10 seconds)* using 80 percent less energy than
conventional hand dryers and represents a 95 percent cost savings over paper towels, eliminating
their labor, maintenance and waste. The installation of the XLERATOR hand dryers was a significant
factor in reducing overall waste removal from Fenway Park by over 123 tons when first installed,
which equated to a 24 percent reduction in waste compared to the same time the previous year. A
customized cost-savings analysis revealed that the XLERATOR hand dryers reduced Fenway Parks
hand drying carbon footprint by 82 percent. Additionally, with the installation of the XLERATOR hand
dryers, Fenway Park saved $83,000 annually a 97 percent savings over paper towels and saw a
full return on their investment in just over 12 months, including installation costs.
With the capacity to hold nearly 70,000 people for any event, Gillette Stadiums restrooms offered
significant room for improving sustainability. Originally equipped with paper towel dispensers, Gillette
Stadium used an average of 6.3 million paper towels per year at a cost of more than $50,000 for
paper, maintenance and waste removal. The New England Patriots partnered with Excel Dryer to
install more than 125 XLERATOR hand dryers throughout Gillette Stadium. The units have several
different cover designs featuring the teams logo, colors and a sustainability message letting fans
know why theyve switched from paper towels. By installing the XLERATOR hand dryers, Gillette
Stadium has saved 95 percent versus paper towels, while reducing their carbon footprint by 70
percent.
While our primary focus remains on creating the ultimate fan experience, were continually looking for
new areas to make environmental improvements, said Jim Nolan, vice president of operations at
Gillette Stadium. Updating the restrooms with XLERATOR hand dryers represents another large step
in reducing our carbon footprint. Over time, we plan to install more dryers throughout our other
properties, reducing operating costs and supporting our existing sustainability initiatives.
Excel Dryer offers custom digital image covers that provide stadiums and arenas with an opportunity
to showcase branding with graphics, colors, logos or a custom sustainability message. Additionally,
Excel Dryer has partnered with the Green Apple Program, an initiative from the Center for Green
Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) that brings together advocates from around the
world and encourages them to take action in their communities through service. Through this
partnership, Excel Dryer created custom covered high-speed, energy-efficient Green Apple
XLERATOR hand dryers that are available for any facility to purchase with a portion of the proceeds
going back to the Green Apple initiative that supports putting all our children in healthy, sustainable
learning environments within this generation.
Excel Dryer has a diverse range of products and options along with the most complete line of
accessories in the industry to create the best hand drying solution for any restroom environment,
including optional Speed and Sound controls or HEPA Filtration System for a quiet and clean airflow.
AMERICAN SOCIETY OF INTERIOR DESIGNERS TO HOST

LEGISLATIVE SYMPOSIUM APRIL 14-15
East Longmeadow, MA April 3, 2015
Excel Dryer, Inc., manufacturer of the finest Made in
USA Certified hand dryers for more than 50 years including the original, patented, high-speed,
energy-efficient XLERATOR hand dryer, today announced support for the 2015 American Society
of Interior Designers (ASID) Legislative Symposium to take place April 14-15 in Washington, D.C.
Excel Dryer is proud to partner with ASID and be a catalyst for change by advocating for legislative
policy in support of a more sustainable and green built environment. The ASID Legislative Symposium
provides training and knowledge to preserve practice rights at both a state and federal legislative
level. Attendees can participate by earning continuing education credits, attending sessions focused on
building codes and standards, lighting design, the evolution of interior design in the building industry,
and national updates on interior design-related legislative activity. Additionally, the event will serve as
a platform for attendees to engage with legislators, and speak with members of Congress about the
technical and scientific aspects of the interior design profession and how the work contributes to the
economy.
We share the same vision and values as our industry partners in the architecture and interior design
profession and support them by creating innovative and environmentally friendly solutions, said Vice
President of Marketing, William Gagnon. We urge professionals within those industries to attend the
legislative symposium and advocate for policies that support industry innovation focused on
sustainability especially here in the United States to support our economy.
The sustainable commercial building community is inundated with marketing about green products as
alternatives to traditional solutions, many of which are false claims. In an effort to preserve the
environment and the authenticity of sustainable products, ASID and U.S. Green Building Council
(USGBC) fellow, Penny Bonda, released the second edition of Sustainable Commercial Interiors as a
comprehensive guide about the latest in green and sustainable design. Excel Dryer was among the
sustainable product manufacturers asked to provide thought leadership within the book. More
specifically, Bonda featured the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), performed by Quantis International, in a
case study as the proper way to prove product sustainability. The LCA confirmed the XLERATOR hand
dryer reduces the carbon footprint of hand drying by 50-70 percent when compared to both traditional
hand dryers and even 100 percent recycled paper towels.
Excel Dryer is also the only hand dryer manufacturer to have been awarded the prestigious Made in
USA Certified Seal by the only independent, third-party certification source for Country of Origin
Labeling in the world. Certified, Inc.,evaluated the manufacturing process of XLERATOR hand dryers
including an extensive supply chain audit to confirm detailed authentication.
Excel Dryer manufactures the industrys finest quality hand dryers featuring the original, patented,
high-speed, energyefficient XLERATOR hand dryer and the new XLERATOReco hand dryer. The
XLERATOR hand dryer dries hands completely (in 10 seconds)* three times faster than conventional
hand dryers and uses 80 percent less energy. The XLERATOReco hand dryer uses no heat
technology to dry hands fast using only 500 watts, making it the most energyefficient and
environmentally friendly hand dryer on the planet. XLERATOR hand dryers represent a 95 percent cost
savings versus paper towels and eliminate their labor, maintenance and waste, while creating a more
hygienic restroom environment. In addition, the XLERATOR hand dryer is GreenSpec Listed and
helps qualify for several LEED v4 Credits and Green Globes to achieve corporate or government
sustainability goals.
XLERATOR and XLERATOReco are available with the industrys most options and complete line of
accessories including an adjustable speed and sound control for sound-sensitive areas, an
ADA-compliant Recess Kit, the XChanger Combination Kit an ADA-compliant paper towel dispenser
retrofit kit, MICROBAN anti-microbial Wall Guards, and custom digital image covers adopted by
several companies and organizations including the USGBC Center For Green Schools Green Apple
Program, the New England Patriots, Dunkin Donuts, Coca-Cola and many more.
EXCEL DRYER ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH NATIONAL

RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION CONSERVE PROGRAM
East Longmeadow, MA March 30, 2015
For more than 50 years, Excel Dryer, Inc., has
manufactured the finest American made hand dryers featuring the original, patented, high-speed,
energy-efficient XLERATOR hand dryer, today announced its sponsorship of the National Restaurant
Association (NRA) Conserve Sustainability Program. The XLERATOR hand dryer manufactured by Excel
Dryer creates a more hygienic restroom environment for the restaurant and food service industries.
As part of our Conserve Program, NRA provides tips and tools for restaurant operators looking to
maximize their sustainability efforts in their everyday operation, said Jeff Clark, Conserve Program
director. By installing highspeed,energy-efficient XLERATOR hand dryers in place of paper towels,
restaurants will reduce their hand drying carbon footprint by up to 70 percent, impacting not only the
environment, but their bottom line.
The XLERATOR hand dryer allows facilities to eliminate bacteria laden paper towel waste and
positively impact global warming trends while creating a more hygienic restroom environment, said
William Gagnon, vice president of marketing at Excel Dryer. As all facilities are now looking for green
and cost-saving initiatives, the installation of the XLERATOR hand dryer accomplishes both.
Sustainability is becoming increasingly popular with restaurant diners. According to the NRA 2014
Restaurant Industry Forecast, over half of consumers say they are likely to make a restaurant choice
based on its eco-friendly practices and a majority of restaurant operators across all segments say their
guests are increasingly interested in environmentally sustainable menu items. Additionally, a restroom
says a lot about a facility and can influence how likely guests are to return. A survey conducted by
Cintas Corporation, a national restroom cleaning and supplies service provider, found that 88 percent
of respondents identified overflowing trashcans as a sign of a dirty restroom. Eighty percent of those
surveyed said paper towels and toilet paper on the floor was another sign. By adopting touch-free,
high-efficiency fixtures such as the high-speed, energy-efficient XLERATOR hand dryer manufactured
by Excel Dryer, facilities eliminate paper tower labor, maintenance and waste and improve restroom
cleanliness.
Excel Dryer manufactures the industrys finest quality hand dryers featuring the original, patented,
high-speed,energy-efficient XLERATOR hand dryer and the new XLERATOReco hand dryer. The
XLERATOR hand dryer dries hands completely (in 10 seconds)* three times faster than conventional
hand dryers and uses 80 percent less energy. The XLERATOReco hand dryer uses no heat
technology to dry hands fast using only 500 watts,making it the most energy-efficient and
environmentally friendly hand dryer on the planet. XLERATOR hand dryers represent a 95 percent cost
savings versus paper towels and eliminate their labor, maintenance and waste, while creating a more
hygienic restroom environment. In addition, the XLERATOR hand dryer is GreenSpec
Listed,endorsed by the National Restaurant Association, and helps qualify for several LEED v4
Credits and Green Globes to achieve corporate or government sustainability goals.
XLERATOR and XLERATOReco are available with the industrys most options and complete line of
accessories including a HEPA Filtration System that removes 99.97 percent of bacteria from the air
stream, adjustable speed and sound control for sound-sensitive areas, and custom digital image
covers adopted by several companies and organizations including the USGBC Center For Green
Schools Green Apple Program, the New England Patriots,Dunkin Donuts, Coca-Cola and many more.

EXCEL DRYER ENCOURAGES PARTICIPATION IN

INTERNATIONAL FACILITY MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATIONS
ADVOCACY DAY AND PUBLIC POLICY FORUM, JULY 23-24
Government relations is essential to advancing facility management profession
East Longmeadow, MA July 23, 2014
Excel Dryer, Inc., manufacturer of the original, patented,
high-speed, energy-efficient XLERATOR and new XLERATOReco hand dryers, today announced the
importance of reaching out to local, state and federal elected officials about the significance of the
built environment and the impact facility management has on issues like energy efficiency and
sustainability. To that end, Excel Dryer will take part in the International Facility Management
Associations (IFMA) Advocacy Day and Public Policy Forum in Washington, D.C., Wednesday, July 23
and Thursday, July 24.
"Engaging in the legislative process is one of the most effective ways that facility managers can
influence federal and municipal policies impacting the profession, said Excel Dryer Vice President of
Marketing, William Gagnon. Legislators need information on Capitol Hill to encourage public policy
that supports energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives that not only benefit facility management
professionals but the public at large."
Held July 23-24 in Washington, D.C., IFMAs Advocacy Day and Public Policy Forum educates IFMA
members on the legislative process and encourages their participation as spokespersons for the facility
management profession. It is an opportunity for the IFMA community to influence federal and
municipal policies impacting the profession. During the Advocacy Day and Public Policy Forum, facility
managers will:
Get a first-hand look at how Congress creates and implements

the laws that affect business
Learn about pending legislation that may directly impact
facility management
Participate in the legislative process in practice
Get policy updates from the source including IFMAs

legislative team, administration officials and members of
Congress
Meet with representatives offices in the U.S. House and
Senate and introduce them to facility managers and help
influence their decisions
"As facilities are now looking for green and cost-saving initiatives, legislators need only look around
Washington, D.C. to see energy efficiency and sustainability in action, said Gagnon. Both Nationals
Park, home of the Washington Nationals baseball team and the Washington Redskins football teams
home at FedExField are equipped with high-speed, energy-efficient XLERATOR hand dryers. In
addition, several D.C.-based government headquarters including the US Green Building Council
(USGBC) and US Department of Agriculture (USDA) use XLERATOR hand dryers and have realized
substantial energy and sustainability benefits.
The USGBC has been the beacon for green building and design and lifeblood behind the LEED
(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) building certification program. Like the green
movement itself, the USGBC has experienced rapid and sustained growth. The present demand for
LEED certification for building projects is so high that the USGBC has expanded significantly in
recent years to accommodate its growth. After just two years at its Dupont Circle headquarters in
Washington, D.C., the USGBC outgrew its office space and renovated a circa-1970s office building to
become the first project to achieve LEED Platinum under the newest version of its green building
rating system. At the time of the renovation, Excel Dryer had been a corporate member of the USGBC
for nearly seven years and the XLERATOR hand dryer was a featured green product at USGBC
headquarters.
Likewise, the USDA, in an effort to eliminate 12 tons of paper towel waste annually, installed two
dozen XLERATOR hand dryers throughout the USDA complex in Washington, D.C. The installation
not only significantly reduced paper tower waste each year, but also lowered the cost of purchasing
paper towels, reduced paper towel maintenance and disposal costs, and improved bathroom hygiene
with far fewer wet paper towels trapping germs and overflowing onto the bathroom floor.
XLERATOR is the original, patented high-speed energy efficient hand dryer that dries hands
completely in 10 seconds*, three times faster than conventional dryers, while using 80 percent less
energy. XLERATOR hand dryers represent a 95 percent cost savings versus paper towels and
eliminates their maintenance and waste while creating a more hygienic restroom environment. In
addition, the XLERATOR hand dryer product family is GreenSpec listed and helps qualify for
several LEED v4 Credits and Green Globes to achieve corporate or government sustainability goals.
The XLERATOReco hand dryer uses new no heat technology to dry hands in 10 seconds* using
only 500 watts, making it the most energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly hand dryer on the
planet. XLERATOReco sets another new industry standard in green innovation and sustainability.
Drawing four and a half amps or less, multiple XLERATOReco units can be installed on one circuit,
which significantly reduces installation time and costs. XLERATOReco represents over a 95 percent
cost savings versus paper towels and eliminates their labor, maintenance and waste, while creating a
more hygienic restroom environment.

Fargo Center on July 7, it will be an emotional experience you will never forget, said Antero Sports

restaurant concepts in CT and MA including its newest concept Max Burger, add explanation, etc. then
get into Tims quotes etc.
Tony Guiggio, owner of a Massachusetts-based Family Restaurant. From labor, maintenance and
waste removal fees to the cost of purchasing and replacing paper towels, our restrooms were a
significant cost center. XLERATOR hand dryers not only provide a significant cost savings, but they
are also better for the environment. XLERATOR is a real win-win solution for business owners and
we are thrilled to have installed XLERATOR hand dryers in all of our restrooms, said Guiggio.
General Manager of Max Burger, Tim Taillefer, agrees that XLERATOR is the new industry standard.
Just like the growing trend of customers looking for fine dining experiences that dont break the bank,
its my job as general manager to spot the latest trends that can help us cut costs. The best
investment we made when opening the second location of Max Burger were XLERATOR hand
dryers. Taillefer continued to describe the reliability and durability of Excel Dryer hand dryers and
said part of his role as general manager is Mr. Fix It, so he is acutely aware of the reliability and
durability of Excel Dryer hand dryers. Ive been in the restaurant industry for almost two decades,
and after the first year everything begins to break. Unlike XLERATOR hand dryers, many of our
restroom fixtures have needed replacement, like the automatic soap dispensers and toilet seats. He
also went on to describe the hygienic benefits of XLERATOR. The hands-free approach prevents the
spread of illness, which is a big advantage for the food service industry. XLERATOR is safe, sanitary
and also dries hands faster than conventional hand dryers, which improves my customer experience.

AT GREENBUILD 2013
The Sacramento City Unified School District scores straight As with the
installation of high-speed, energy-efficient Green Apple XLERATOR hand
dryers, now available in the XLERATOReco model using heatless technology
to further reduce energy consumption by over 60 percent
East Longmeadow, MA November 19, 2013
Excel Dryer, Inc., manufacturer of the original,
patented, high-speed and energy-efficient XLERATOR hand dryer, has partnered with the Center for
Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) through their Green Apple initiative to help
create high performing schools that save taxpayer dollars and provide safer learning environments for
children. Through this partnership, Excel Dryer has created custom covered Green Apple XLERATOR
hand dryers that present an opportunity for schools to embrace sustainable facility maintenance
solutions. Green Apple XLERATOR hand dryers are available for any facility to purchase and a
portion of the proceeds go back to the Green Apple initiative that supports green schools for all within
this generation. Excel Dryer is pleased to announce that the Center for Green Schools mission to put
every student in a green school within this generation resonated with the Sacramento City Unified
School District, that was one of the very first to adopt the Green Apple XLERATOR hand dryers as
part of their strategic plans centered on the theme of putting children first.
"As an active member of USGBC, Excel Dryer is pleased to join forces with the Center for Green
Schools through their Green Apple initiative. Together, we will advance the development of
high-performing green schools that create better learning environments for our nation's students,"
said William Gagnon, Vice President of Marketing, Excel Dryer, Inc.
Unlike conventional hand dryers, which average 30 to 45 seconds of drying time, XLERATOR dries
hands three times faster (completely in 10 seconds) and uses 80 percent less energy than
conventional hand dryers. XLERATOR represents a 95 percent cost savings when compared to paper
towels, reduces the need for maintenance and improves restroom hygiene. XLERATOR is also the
only hand dryer to be Made in USA Certified, the first hand dryer to be GreenSpec Listed and helps
facilities qualify for LEED credits.
A customized cost-savings analysis revealed that XLERATOR could save Sacramento Charter High
School almost $17,000.00 annually a 97.96 percent savings versus paper towels and eliminate
5,587 pounds of paper towel waste a year. Energy efficiency statistics generated from testing the
XLERATOR against paper towels are a compelling argument to adopt Excel Dryers technology;
drying hands with paper towels uses an average of 743 kilojoules per use, while an XLERATOR uses
just 76 kilojoules per use.
Excel Dryers expertise and knowledge about the importance of energy-efficient, low-maintenance
and durable hand dryers made a tremendous impact on our sustainability transformation at the
Sacramento City Unified School District, said Farah Wissinger, Environmental Sustainability Manager
for the school district. Excel Dryers customized cost-savings analysis showed us exactly how much
energy and money we were wasting on paper towels in our washrooms, including maintenance and
waste removal fees that really add up.
Excel Dryer continues to innovate and set new industry standards. The newer XLERATOReco model
uses heatless technology to further reduce energy consumption by over 60 percent, equaling less than
30 kilojoules per use and is also available as a Green Apple high-speed and energy-efficient hand
dryer. XLERATOR and XLERATOReco are available with a full line of accessories featuring the only
Certified HEPA Filtration System with a washable pre-filter for reliable performance and a longer life
span, antimicrobial wall guards and the XChanger paper towel dispenser retrofit kit.
Excel Dryer invites Greenbuild attendees to visit booth number 929 for XLERATOR and
XLERATOReco demonstrations and a customized cost-savings analysis to identify the energy and
cost-savings available to any unique facility with the installation of high-speed, energy-efficient
XLERATOR hand dryers.
A complete case study revealing the sustainability transformation at the Sacramento Charter High
School is available online at exceldryer.com/landing_pages/greenapple/ in the digital press room for
Greenbuild 2013 and by request.
In addition to donating a portion of the proceeds of every Green Apple XLERATOR sold, Excel Dryer

of advocates from around the world, including students, teachers, parents, elected officials,
organizations, companies and more, who take action in their communities through local service
projects. Taking place annually on the last Saturday in September, the Green Apple Day of Service
presents an opportunity for substantial progress to be made in support of healthy, sustainable schools.

Mazria, founder of Architecture 2030. Excel Dryers dedication to research and development that
upsets the status quo by offering innovative and sustainable solutions is remarkable. Through our
challenge we are raising awareness about climate change and the energy crisis, highlighting solutions
in the marketplace like XLERATOR while also encouraging the building and design community to
adopt green technologies.
Specifically, the 2030 Challenge for Products program seeks thought leaders of the global architecture
and building community to adopt, design and manufacture green and sustainable products to reduce
the carbon footprint by 30 percent below the product average by 2014 and then incrementally
improving the reduction to 50 percent by the year 2030.
Excel Dryer is pleased to partner with Architecture 2030 as we share the same mission to positively
impact the environment with sustainable, energy-saving and cost-saving solutions, said Vice
President of Marketing at Excel Dryer, William Gagnon. XLERATOR is a prime example of a simple
change any building professional can specify for virtually any purpose from new construction,
complete renovations or even just a single project to retrofit existing paper towel dispensers with our
XChanger retrofit kit. One small change can leave a lasting imprint on the environment and even
inspires other larger projects.
Architecture 2030 focuses on the building sector because it is responsible for almost half of the energy
consumption, 49 percent, and GHG emissions, 47 percent, in the United States. While the majority of
the energy consumption and their associated emissions come from building operations such as
heating, cooling and lighting, the embodied energy and emissions of building materials and products
are also becoming increasingly significant. When including all products for the built environment, such
as furniture, movable equipment and appliances, the percentage of energy consumption and GHG
emissions is even higher.
As part of the 2030 Challenge for Products, Architecture 2030 requires manufacturers to produce third
party expert verified Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies and requires architectural and building
professionals to specify low-carbon building products that meet the program targets. The peer
reviewed (per ISO 14040 standards) Life Cycle Assessment of XLERATOR confirmed it reduces the
carbon footprint of hand drying by 50-70 percent when compared to both traditional hand dryers and
even 100 percent recycled paper towels.
XLERATOR is the original, patented high-speed energy efficient hand dryer. XLERATOR completely
dries hands three times faster (in 10 seconds) and uses 80% less energy than conventional hand
dryers. XLERATOR represents a 95% cost savings when compared to paper towels, eliminates their
maintenance and waste, while creating a more hygienic restroom environment. XLERATOR is the
only dryer that is Made in USA Certified, the first to be GreenSpec listed and qualifies for several
LEED Credits. A peer reviewed (per ISO 14040 standards)
confirmed it reduces the carbon footprint of hand drying by 50-70% when compared to both
traditional hand dryers and even 100% recycled paper towels. XLERATOR is now available with a full
line of accessories featuring the only certified HEPA filtration system with a washable pre-filter for
reliable performance and a longer life span, antimicrobial wall guards and the XChanger paper towel
dispenser retrofit kit. XLERATOR helps commercial facilities save time, money and the environment.

LOCAL EVENT HOSTS SUPER BOWL CHAMPION AND HONORS

WOUNDED WARRIORS
Super Bowl champion Mike Flynn returns to Western Mass in support of
Americas heroes and Springfield-based Childrens Study Home
The Childrens Study Home is honored to welcome home
one of our own, Agawam native and Cathedral High Schools Super Bowl champion, Mike Flynn. Flynn
is extremely appreciative to have this opportunity to return to Western Mass and lend his support for
two causes he feels equally deserving; to provide a quality education to every American child and to
also pay tribute to the men and women of Americas Armed Forces who volunteered and put
themselves in harms way to defend freedom.
This event is about service, said Flynn. Service to our country by these military heroes and service
to these children to provide them the kind of future every American deserves. Its good to be home
and Im humbled to have an opportunity to support two worthy causes.
Flynn will be joined by United States Army Sergeant, Saul Bosquez, who lost his leg while serving in
Baghdad. Sergeant Bosquez is now attending college in New Hampshire and he is also a member of
the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball team, a team of Iraq and Afghanistan War amputees who
travel the country playing softball and flag football games to raise awareness. Later this summer the
team along with more than 40 prominent NFL, NHL, NBA and MLB stars, including Mike Flynn, will visit
the Boston Marathon bombing amputee victims in show of support and to help honor the first
responders who saved so many lives.
Mike Flynn and Sergeant Bosquez are both great role models for the kids, said Childrens Study
Home Community Relations and Development Associate, Teresa Spaziani. We are so happy they
could both make time and support the event that will benefit our Education Fund, providing
scholarships and educational resources to the children and youth we serve throughout the Pioneer
Valley and Cape Cod areas.

HIGH-SPEED, ENERGY-EFFICIENT HAND DRYER HELPS

SCHOOL DISTRICT SAVE TIME AND MONEY
XLERATOR: The hand dryer industry standard
energy-efficient XLERATOR hand dryer, is proud to provide schools and educational organizations
with time and money savings by installing XLERATOR hand dryes. Suburban Chicago school district,
Niles Township School District 219, recently took advantage of the schools renovations to re-evaluate
expenditures in a number of facility-related areas.
Situated just north of Chicago, Niles Township School District 219 serves over 4,800 students from
portions of Lincolnwood, Morton Grove, Niles and Skokie, Illinois. This sprawling district includes two
high schools, which, similar to other schools across the country, are facing cutbacks that are causing
administrators to seek cost-saving initiatives anywhere they can find them.
Joe Tomaselli, Aramark director of operations for Niles Township School District 219, says that
administrators recently took advantage of the schools renovations to re-evaluate expenditures in a
number of facility-related areas. Restrooms had always been an area where we faced a lot of extra
work, says Tomaselli. Our student restrooms had both paper towels and traditional hand dryers, but
we were constantly dealing with vandalism, blocked toilets and more, which translated into an extra
four hours of clean-up every night. This was costing us an extra $16,500 per year in restroom
maintenance!
Furthermore, the schools were spending an estimated $38,700 per year on paper towels, not including
the additional costs associated with running hand dryers for 30 seconds per use.
After researching alternatives for source reduction, Tomaselli decided to install XLERATOR hand
dryers in the restrooms. In terms of energy savings, these dryers draw an average of 1500 watts per
use, compared to the traditional 2300 watts. Plus, they dry hands three times faster than traditional
dryers and shut off two seconds after the hands are removed from the sensor area. Annually, this
translates into an electrical consumption savings of $52 per unit, or for 80 units, $4,160 per year in
savings. The dryers delivered a return on investment in just one year. Once we did the math, the
cost savings were clear.
XLERATOR is the original, patented high-speed energy efficient hand dryer that dries hands
completely in 10 10 seconds, three times faster than conventional dryers, while using 80% less
energy. XLERATOR hand dryers represent a 95% cost savings over paper towels and eliminates their
maintenance and waste while creating a more hygienic restroom environment. In addition,
XLERATOR is GreenSpec listed and helps qualify for several LEED credits, making it a smart
choice for the restroom by saving time, money and the environment.
The XLERATOR is more user-friendly than recently introduced trough-style dryers and completely
hands-free: there is no risk of touching a potentially unclean surface while drying hands. Unlike the
newer models that require users to insert and remove their hands, the XLERATOR is intuitive and
does not require instruction. Priced at less than half of the cost of trough-style models and virtually
maintenance-free, the XLERATOR is easier for facility managers to install and maintain in their
restrooms.
XLERATOR continues to succeed where other hand dryers fail because it satisfies the needs of both
facility managers and patrons, said Denis Gagnon, president, Excel Dryer, Inc.
Currently, XLERATOR is installed in a variety of large school districts and universities across the
United States. Visit www.exceldryer.com to view a range of case studies and application stories.

Next Generation Green Restroom Design for Next Generation

Green Schools
With help from its building partners, The Green Schoolhouse Series is charting
the course for building healthy, sustainable schools for the 21st century
East Longmeadow, MA April 18, 2012 It all started as a well-intentioned temporary fix. Driven by
an unprecedented student population boom between 1950 and 2000, school districts erected
thousands of portable classrooms. Today, there are still more than 300,000 trailer-like portables in
use at K-12 schools across the nation; and although intended as an interim solution, many have now
been in place for 30 to 40 years. They are operating well beyond their expected lifespan, and as a
result of mold, poor ventilation and other hazards, they are unsafe and hinder students' ability to
learn. According to the National Education Association, an alarming 25 percent of temporary
classrooms are substandard or dangerous and low-income children suffer disproportionately. Indoor
air quality is a particularly important concern, as evidenced by the fact that, each year, American
children miss more than ten million school days due to asthma and other respiratory ailments related
to poor indoor air quality.
Bringing together entire communities, school districts, corporations, and volunteers, The
Green
Schoolhouse Series (GSHS)
is the first program of its kind to build sustainable, LEED/CHPS Certified
schoolhouses in a manner similar to Extreme Home Makeover and Habitat for Humanity.
Groundbreaking for the inaugural Green Schoolhouse, The Safari, at Roadrunner Elementary School in
Phoenix, AZ, commenced in early fall 2011. The school is expected to be complete by summer 2012.
As flagship building partners in The Green Schoolhouse Series,

Sloan Valve Company
and
Excel Dryer,
Inc
. have teamed up to ensure that each new schoolhouse features the latest in green, hygienic
restroom design. All too often school restrooms are synonymous with odors and poor sanitary
conditions that can contribute to the spread of germs and illness. Over the last ten years,
manufacturers have come to market with an array of innovative, hands-free hand dryers, toilets,
urinals, sinks, and soap dispensers that help improve restroom hygiene and student safety. In addition
to promoting cleaner restrooms, these products also meet rigorous LEED standards through reduced
water consumption, energy use and waste.
Designing Restrooms with Sustainability and Safety in Mind
Architects for the Green Schoolhouse Series selected the high-efficiency products featured in
Next
Generation Green Restroom Design
, a new CEU course created by Sloan Valve and Excel Dryer.
Developed in collaboration with the U.S. Green Building Councils new virtual tour, the course provides
an overview of the newest technologies in high-efficiency plumbing products and fixtures for
sustainable restroom design. The course demonstrates the practical, economical and environmental
benefits of highspeed, energy-efficient hand dryers, water use and trends, and how to choose
water-saving products. It clearly explains how these products contribute to new best-practice green
building.
By specifying the high-efficiency restroom fixtures illustrated in the course, each Green Schoolhouse
will reduce restroom water usage by up to 50%, cost and maintenance by more than 90% and reduce
the carbon footprint of hand drying by up to 70%.
Not only will the students benefit from learning in a healthier classroom setting, the Green
Schoolhouses will also serve as integral, hands-on teaching tools, explained Marshall G. Zotara,
Founder and Senior Managing Partner of CAUSE AND EFFECT Evolutions, a cause development firm
spearheading the program.
Going forward, the new Green Schoolhouse schools sustainable attributes also include solar energy,
day lighting, enhanced acoustics, energy-efficient HVAC systems, earth-friendly wall systems and
flooring, zero-VOC paints, drought-tolerant landscaping, motion detectors, and energy management
systems, incorporated to create to a green educational learning environment. The sustainable design,
products and components are expected to help achieve net-zero energy, resulting in no additional
electricity costs being incurred because of the new, additional facilities.
Each school will take an estimated 30-45 days to complete and will be built solely by volunteers led by
professional contractors, tradesman and technicians.

dryers, says Bill Gagnon, Director of Marketing, Excel Dryer, Inc. In this case, the federal
government gives preference to products such as XLERATOR that can demonstrate a 25% or
more increase in energy efficiency. This means that XLERATOR dryers are ARRA compliant now
and project managers can start experiencing significant cost and energy savings this year.
With a payback of less than one year, the XLERATOR hand dryer represents a major cost
savings, is an excellent source reduction alternative and helps qualify for a multiple LEED
credits in the new 2009 Rating System, particularly for LEED Existing Buildings (LEED-EB).
Under LEED-EB: Operations and Management, XLERATOR can earn credits for energy
optimization, waste reduction, green housekeeping, and more. The XLERATOR is the only hand
dryer that is MADE IN USA Certified, working in compliance with the Buy American Act and
ensuring that stimulus money continues to support American innovation and manufacturing.

uses 80% less energy than conventional hand dryers
. XLERATOR also delivers a 95% cost
savings when compared to paper towels, eliminates their maintenance and waste, while
creating a more hygienic restroom environment. Because of its efficiency and proven
performance, the XLERATOR is the first hand dryer to be GreenSpec Listed. A complete

Cycle Assessment
study of XLERATOR, peer-reviewed to internationally-recognized ISO 14040
standards, confirmed that XLERATOR reduces the carbon footprint of hand drying by 50-70%
when compared to traditional hand dryers and paper towels.
Excel is the first hand dryer manufacturer to be awarded a Schedule Contract by the

Excel Dryer, Inc. Announces Results of Life Cycle Assessment
for XLERATOR
The high-speed hand dryer achieved major reduction in climate change
impacts, non-renewable energy, impacts on ecosystems, and emissions that
damage human health.
November 9, 2009 East Longmeadow, Mass.
Excel Dryer, Inc. announced today that it has
released the findings of a peer reviewed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for its high-speed energy
efficient hand dryer, XLERATOR

. The LCA study, conducted by Quantis, an international life cycle
assessment research firm, determined that when compared to traditional electric hand dryers and
paper towels (virgin and 100% recycled content), XLERATOR reduces the Climate Changing Score
(Carbon Footprint) of hand drying by 50%-75%. Each hand drying system was evaluated on 10 years
of service, or drying 260,000 pairs of hands. The LCA measured the entire environmental impact of
XLERATOR from beginning to end-of-life.
The results of the study indicate that XLERATOR provides significant environmental benefits when
compared to the other hand drying options considered in the assessment. The major advantage it
provides, when compared to conventional electric hand dryers, is the nearly four-fold reduction of
electricity consumption during the use of the dryer. When compared to paper towels, the combined
environmental impact of producing the paper towels and associated materials and handling far
exceeds the impact of using XLERATOR. Even "high-intensity" users of XLERATOR (10 seconds of hand
drying time per use) still remained at a lower level of environmental impact than "low intensity" users
of traditional hand dryers (20 seconds of hand drying time per use) or one-to-two paper towels per
use.
"The LCA study provides industry professionals, architects and others with a scientific assessment of
how various hand drying options impact the environment," said William Gagnon, director of
marketing, Excel Dryer, Inc. "It confirms that XLERATOR contributes to reducing a facility's carbon
footprint when compared to traditional hand dryers or paper towels."
According to the LCA study, a wide variety of environmental impact categories were evaluated and the
XLERATOR provided an environmental advantage in each category. In addition to reducing climate
change impacts (carbon footprint), XLERATOR also reduces the use of non-renewable energy, impacts
on ecosystems and emissions that damage human health.
"The results of this independent study exceeded our expectations," said Denis Gagnon, president,
Excel Dryer, Inc.
The study was peer reviewed by an independent panel of Life Cycle Assessment experts to ensure
compliance with the standards contained in ISO 14040.

Green on the field and off: XLERATOR Hand Dryers Named

the Official Hand Dryer of the New England Patriots and
Gillette Stadium
Installation of over 100 high-speed, energy-efficient hand dryers will help the
Patriots organization green its facilities and eliminate the need for paper
towels in restrooms.
September 23, 2009 East Longmeadow, Mass.

EXCEL DRYER,
Inc., manufacturer of the patented high-speed, energy-efficient XLERATOR

hand dryer has
announced a new partnership with the New England Patriots to install over 100 custom New England
Patriots logo XLERATOR units throughout Gillette Stadium.
The agreement names XLERATOR the official
hand dryer
of the New England Patriots. It allows the
high-speed branded dryers to be sold online at
www.patriots.com
through the
approved supplier for
the NFL
to restaurants, bars and other facilities that wish to install XLERATOR hand dryers with the
Patriots logo.
"Installation of XLERATOR hand dryers reduces the cost and maintenance associated with paper towels
in the stadium's restrooms," said Jim Nolan, vice president of operations, Gillette Stadium. "Over time,
we plan to install more dryers throughout our other properties, reducing operating costs and
supporting our existing sustainability initiatives."
"The NFL currently has XLERATOR hand dryers installed at its New York headquarters, NFL Network
Studios in Los Angeles, and is encouraging the use of high-speed, energy-efficient hand dryers at
stadiums as part of the league's 'Green Initiative'," said David Krichavsky, director of community
affairs, National Football League.
In the seven years after its official launch, the XLERATOR's speed and effectiveness have established it
as the New Industry Standard by which other hand dryers are measured. The XLERATOR is
user-friendly and easy for facility managers to install and maintain in their facilities.
The XLERATOR completely dries hands in 10 seconds, versus conventional dryers that take 30 to 45
seconds or longer.
XLERATOR completes the job three times faster, uses 80% less energy than traditional hand dryers
and delivers a
95% cost savings vs. paper towels
, while creating a more hygienic restroom
environment.
"We are excited about partnering with one of the most respected organizations in professional sports,"
said William Gagnon, director of marketing, EXCEL DRYER, Inc. "The Kraft Group has created the
model franchise in the NFL; its team, operations, business, and green initiatives are a proven blueprint
for success."
In 2001, the Kraft family, which privately financed the construction of Gillette Stadium, received the
Environmental Award for Corporate Leadership from the Environment Business Council of New England
in recognition of the innovative environmental practices in the stadium's design. In 2002, the year the
stadium opened, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency presented The Kraft Group with New
England's Environmental Merit Award. Since 2007, Gillette Stadium has utilized Renewable Energy
Credits (RECs) to match the stadium's electricity usage with wind power before, during and after all
Patriots pre-season, regular and post-season home games. A wastewater reuse system at the stadium
also saves millions of gallons of water annually.
The XLERATOR is the only hand dryer to be MADE IN USA Certified and the first hand dryer to be
GreenSpec
Listed. It also helps facilities qualify for LEED
(Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) credits issued by the U.S. Green Building Council. In addition to meeting the demands of
today's green initiatives, XLERATOR dryers can help facility managers save large amounts of time and
money annually by eliminating the
cost of paper towels
, their maintenance and waste.
About New England Patriots and Gillette Stadium
The Patriots were named the eighth and final charter franchise of the American Football League (AFL)
on Nov. 16, 1959 and are celebrating their 50th anniversary season this year. In 1994, Robert Kraft
purchased the franchise and vowed to bring New England its first league championship. The Patriots
delivered on that promise at the end of the 2001 season and became just the second team in NFL
history to win three Super Bowls in a four-year span after winning back-to-back titles in 2003 and
2004. Since 1994, the Patriots have won more games and more often than every other NFL team. The
Patriots play their home games in Gillette Stadium, which is also home to Major League Soccer's New
England Revolution and is New England's premier sports and entertainment venue. Fans have sold out
every Patriots home game since Gillette Stadium opened in 2002, and flock to the stadium to see the
New England Revolution, attend world-class concerts and participate in special events that keep it
busy year round. For more information, please visit

XLERATOR
High-Speed Hand Dryer Wins Platinum ADEX
Award for Excellence in Design
The hand dryer was also recognized as the most affordable option in the
industry due to its low initial purchase and on-going operating cost.
June 16, 2009 East Longmeadow, Mass.
Design Journal
recently announced the recipients of the 2009 Awards for Design Excellence (ADEX), honoring Excel
Hand Dryer, Inc., manufacturer of the high-speed XLERATOR hand dryer, with a Platinum ADEX
award. Unlike conventional hand dryers, which average 30 to 45 seconds of drying time, the
XLERATOR hand dryer completely dries hands 3 times faster (in 10 seconds) and uses 80% less
energy than conventional hand dryers. XLERATOR also delivers a 95% cost savings when compared to
paper towels and eliminates paper towel maintenance while creating a more hygienic restroom
environment. XLERATOR also is the only hand dryer to be MADE IN USA Certified, the first hand dryer
to achieve GreenSpec
listing and helps facilities qualify for LEED
Instead of trying to evaporate water droplets off hands, XLERATOR blows them off using a focused
high-velocity air stream and a specially designed nozzle. The high-velocity air also breaks up the layer
of water vapor between the air and the skin, causing the thin water film to evaporate quickly. "Along
with XLERATOR's long-standing reputation for performance, cost savings and sustainability, the ADEX
awards reinforce Excel Dryer's dedication to innovative, environmentally-friendly solutions for
restrooms around the world," says William Gagnon, director of marketing for Excel Dryer, Inc.
ADEX is one of the largest and most prestigious award programs for product design of furniture,
fixtures and finishes marketed to the design trade.
Design Journal
is the international trade publication
for interior designers, architects and facility managers, sponsors the ADEX awards.
Design Journal
introduced the Awards for Design Excellence in 1994 as a way of recognizing superior
product design. An anonymous panel of professionals representing a cross section of the design
industry conducts all voting for the ADEX awards. Each category has potential for three award levels of
platinum, gold or silver.

XLERATOR
high-speed, energy-efficient hand dryer meets
sustainability requirements for Federal stimulus construction
and renovation projects
Manufactured in the U.S.A., the hand dryer company also holds a Schedule
Contract by the GSA - # GS-07F-0017T
East Longmeadow, Mass.
- 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
U.S. manufacturer of the high-speed, energy efficient XLERATOR

hand dryer, in prime position to
help government contractors and architects make restrooms in federal buildings more environmentally
friendly.
In a recent testimony before the House, GSA Acting Administrator Paul Prouty indicated that the
administration would look for opportunities to go green in a 'quick and cost effective' manor. He cited
examples such as adding insulation to existing buildings, installing variable speed drives, converting
parking garages to LED lighting, replacing windows and adding low flow restroom fixtures.
The Stimulus Bill's objectives are both to improve the U.S. economy and help 'green' U.S. government
facilities. Installation of high-speed hand dryers such as XLERATOR will lower the carbon footprint of
any federal facility and yield a payback period of less than one year. In addition,
XLERATOR is the only
hand dryer that is MADE in USA CERTIFIED
, ensuring Stimulus Bill money continues to support
American manufacturers.
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 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
listing
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.

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

GSA Contract Info
XLERATOR
hand dryer recognized by the U.S. Government - Excel Dryer is the
first dryer manufacturer to be awarded a Schedule Contract by the GSA

- Excel Dryer, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of American-made hand
and hair dryers and creator of the industry standard XLERATOR

high-speed hand dryer, is pleased to
announce that it has been awarded a Schedule Contract by the General Services Administration. Excel
Dryer is the first hand dryer manufacturer to receive this honor because XLERATOR is completely
made in the United States, 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.
Online access to contract ordering information, terms and conditions, up-to-date pricing, and the
option to create an electronic delivery order are available through GSA Advantage!, a menu-driven
database system. Visit GSA Advantage! at:

.
"We're very pleased to receive this recognition from the GSA," said Denis Gagnon, president, Excel
Dryer, Inc. "The Schedule Contract will enable more government organizations to be able to specify
this sustainable product in their facilities, allowing them to minimize their paper waste and promote
better environmental responsibility."

XLERATOR
Hand Dryers "green" the restrooms at the
Green Building Council
The industry standard hand dryer, which dries hands three times faster
than traditional dryers, is now in use at the U.S. Green Building Council's
LEED Platinum headquarters

- The present demand for LEED
Environmental Design) certification for building projects is so high that the U.S. Green Building
Council (USGBC) has expanded significantly in recent years. As a result, they decided to build
new headquarters that would embody the founding principles of the organization. Their new
22,000 square foot commercial interior earns the coveted Platinum rating.
To further the project, Excel Dryer Inc. donated their high speed, energy
efficient XLERATOR
hand dryers. 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 seconds) and uses 80% less energy than conventional hand dryers.
XLERATOR also

"The XLERATOR, with its new patented technology, was a natural choice for us," said Katz. "We
wanted dryers that would limit paper towel use and minimize energy consumption, but we also
wanted them to work quickly and thoroughly. Not many hand dryers can make that claim."
Five years after its official launch, the XLERATOR's speed,

effectiveness and proven performance have made it the new industry standard by which other
hand dryers are judged. The XLERATOR is more user-friendly than recently introduced
"Trough-Style" dryers and completely hands-free: there is no risk of touching a potentially
unclean surface while drying hands. Unlike the newer models that require users to insert and
remove their hands, the XLERATOR is intuitive and does not require instruction. Priced at less
than half of the cost of trough-style models and virtually maintenance-free, the XLERATOR is
easier for facility managers to install and maintain in their restrooms.
"As a USGBC member, we're proud of the fact that the XLERATOR hand dryer helps facilities
qualify for LEED credits," said Denis Gagnon, president of Excel Dryer. "Having the dryers in
place at the very organization that helps others decrease their environmental footprint is a
terrific vote of confidence for our product."
Each of the USGBC's restrooms includes an XLERATOR as well as water-free urinals, dual-flush
toilets and low-flow faucets, resulting in a 40% reduction in water use.
