A Calculated Cost Savings “The savings made possible by a hand dryer are absolutely quantifiable: For example, [a high-powered hand dryer can] deliver a 95 percent cost savings when compared to [traditional means,]” notes Gagnon. “If you calculate what you would have to spend on [supplies] and dispenser maintenance versus a one-time installation, youʼll always come out ahead with a good hand dryer. It is also a great source reduc-tion alternative.” With less money spent on supplies and labor, facilities often realize a return on investment in one year or less. “We are specifying high-velocity [hand dryers] in our new resident hall public bath-rooms because they will save the budget from buying [supplies] that could run upwards of $8,000 per year for one of our 35 buildings,” asserts Jeff McGee, assis-tant director of building services for the University of Maryland. “Additionally, as a green and sustainable campus and organi-zation, we will be environmentally responsi-ble by not wasting product.” Power P o w e r T Tools o o l s for f o r C Cleaning l e a n i n g Professionals P r o f e s s i o n a l s H A HAVE AV V E Y YO YOU O U H HEARD E THE BUZZZ?

Gagnon adds that decision makers should look for hand dryers that will per-form to their expectations, particularly if they are seeking Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) credits. The notion of likeability is one not to be overlooked. If restroom patrons do not find their hand drying experience pleasurable — the machine blows malodorous air, the air stream is weak, the air is cold, etc. — they will not use the machine and will be less likely to properly wash and dry their hands upon their next visit. “Look for hand dryers that have a proven history of low maintenance and high reliabil-ity,” proclaims Gagnon. “The new generation of hand dryers operate efficiently [and] dry hands rapidly and thoroughly. Ultimately, hand dryers should satisfy the needs of both facility managers and patrons.” CM You’ ’re going g to t o love v e these t h e s e tools! t o o l s !
