Certifications
LEED® (Leadership in Energy &
Environmental Design)
In March 2000, the U.S. Green Building Council formally
released the LEED Green Building Rating System. Today, hundreds
of public and private building projects in the United States
and abroad use LEED as the standard for green building
specifications. All hand dryers save trees and are a great
source reduction alternative, but the XLERATOR also saves
energy! This has earned XLERATOR®
users qualification for LEED credits in two categories:
- EA (Energy & Atmosphere) Prerequisite 2 - Minimum
Energy Performance
- EA Credit 1 - Optimize Energy Performance (now a
mandatory credit for all LEED certified facilities)
GreenSpec®
Because XLERATOR® meets a number of GreenSpec
standards (energy conservation, low maintenance requirements
and waste reduction), it was the first hand dryer to be
GreenSpec approved. GreenSpec is a database of green
products, specifications and building practices for use by
architects and construction professionals. This database
includes 1,750 green building products carefully screened by
the editors of Environmental Building News, organized according
to the 16-division CSI MasterFormat™ system. The
XLERATOR® is listed in Division 10 28
00.
Environmental Building News
EBN is the leading newsletter on environmentally
responsible design and construction. It has been in print since
1992. EBN is independently published and advertising-free,
its research and reporting uncompromised by corporate or
industry sponsorships. EBN researchers independently
tested XLERATOR® for its performance and
energy efficiency and determined that XLERATOR®
clearly outperforms conventional electric hand dryers, both in
energy savings and dry time. The editors of EBN voted
XLERATOR®Top Ten Product of 2002.
