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.

EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass. – 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 stateeach 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 Lesser’s 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 knowthe 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.

contributing to other main objectives: reducing costs, labor and maintenance, while improving the

stadium’s 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 Dryer’s home state of Massachusetts, home to the NewEngland 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 league’s ‘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 Park’shand 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 Stadium’s 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 team’s logo, colors and a sustainability message letting fans

know why they’ve 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, we’re 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 thispartnership, 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

AMERICAN SOCIETY OF INTERIOR DESIGNERS TO HOSTLEGISLATIVE 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 industry’s 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 industry’s most options and complete line ofaccessories 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 PROGRAMEast 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.

Apple XLERATOR hand dryer can be co-branded to include school logos, colors, mascots or a

custom sustainability message. The Green Apple XLERATOR hand dryer is also available in the

new XLERATOReco model that uses ‘no heat’ technology to dry hands fast using only 500 watts

EXCEL DRYER ENCOURAGES PARTICIPATION IN

INTERNATIONAL FACILITY MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION’S

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

Association’s (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., IFMA’s 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 IFMA’s

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 helpinfluence 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 team’s

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 hygienewith 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.

get into Tim’s 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.

it’s 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. “I’ve 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.”

EXCEL DRYER ANNOUNCES A SUSTAINABILITY REPORT CARD

AT GREENBUILD 2013

The Sacramento City Unified School District scores straight A’s with theinstallation 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 withinthis generation. Excel Dryer is pleased to announce that the Center for Green School’s 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 papertowels, 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 Dryer’s technology;

drying hands with paper towels uses an average of 743 kilojoules per use, while an XLERATOR® uses

just 76 kilojoules per use.

“Excel Dryer’s 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 Dryer’s 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, INC. JOINS ARCHITECTURE 2030’S

CHALLENGE FOR PRODUCTS

Excel Dryer’s high-speed, energy-efficient hand dryer, XLERATOR®, hasbecome the new industry standard helping architectural and building

professionals adopt environmentally-friendly solutions

East Longmeadow, MA –November 5, 2013 – Excel Dryer, Inc., manufacturer of the original,

patented, high-speed and energy-efficient XLERATOR® hand dryer, today announced a partnership

with Architecture 2030, a nonprofit, nonpartisan and independent organization established in response

to the climate change crisis. Architecture 2030’s mission is to rapidly transform the built environment

from a major contributor of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to a solution for the climate and energy

crisis through two primary objectives: reducing fossil fuel consumption and GHG emissions; and the

regional development of an adaptive, resilient built environment that can manage the impacts of

climate change, preserve natural resources and access low-cost, renewable energy resources.

“We are thrilled to have Excel Dryer as a partner of our 2030 Challenge for Products,” said Edward

Mazria, founder of Architecture 2030. “Excel Dryer’s 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 GHGemissions 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.

LOCAL EVENT HOSTS SUPER BOWL CHAMPION AND HONORS

WOUNDED WARRIORS

Super Bowl champion Mike Flynn returns to Western Mass in support of

America’s heroes and Springfield-based Children’s Study Home

East Longmeadow, MA –May 1, 2013 – The Children’s Study Home is honored to welcome home

one of our own, Agawam native and Cathedral High School’s 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 America’s Armed Forces who volunteered and put

themselves in harm’s 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. It’s good to be home

and I’m 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 Children’s 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.”

The Children’s Study Home 25th Anniversary Golf Tournament and Opportunity in Bloom Spring

Celebration will host Flynn and Wounded Warrior, Sergeant Bosquez. The tournament and celebration

way we can.” Said Vice President of Marketing and Key Accounts, William Gagnon. “Many of the

Wounded Warriors live right here in Massachusetts communities, and the Children’s Study Home event

is great place to recognize the power of perseverance over tragedy. These American heroes are great

role models for the children and the rest of our nation, especially in Massachusetts after the recent

Boston Marathon bombings.”

HIGH-SPEED, ENERGY-EFFICIENT HAND DRYER HELPS

SCHOOL DISTRICT SAVE TIME AND MONEY

XLERATOR®: The hand dryer industry standard

East Longmeadow, MA – April 23, 2013

– Excel Dryer, Inc., manufacturer of the high-speed,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, thistranslates 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 thenewer 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.










http://www.greenschoolhouseseries.org/

http://www.greenschoolhouseseries.org/








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 reducedwater 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 Council’s 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 high‑speed, 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.

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

uses 80% less energy than conventional hand dryers

. XLERATOR also delivers a 95% costsavings 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 completeLife

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 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 energyefficient 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 combinedenvironmental 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 climatechange 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.

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 NewEngland 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 www.patriots.com

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. "Alongwith 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 theadministration 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.

, 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 Washington

D.C., several facilities in the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard and several U.S.

XLERATOR

® Hand Dryers "green" the restrooms at theGreen 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

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

® credits

.

"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 alsowanted 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.
