Excel Dryer, manufacturer of the high-speed, energy efficient XLERATOR® Hand Dryer, was propelled by a vision: to craft the most exquisite, health-conscious, and sustainable workplace conceivable. The culmination of this ambition is evident in the company’s recent completion of its office renovation and expansion—a 5,000-square-foot testament to functional creativity that prioritizes both employees and the environment.
Innovative Implementation
In their pursuit of an ideal office environment, Excel Dryer embraced the WELL Building Standard® as a guiding principle. Their goal was to set new benchmarks in design and sustainability by incorporating unconventional eco-conscious technologies and products. These innovations span from integrated sink systems featuring the company’s XLERATORsync® Hand Dryer to lighting that mimics the daylight cycle to support employees’ natural circadian rhythms. Such elements not only enhance the visual appeal of the company’s global headquarters but also foster occupant health and well-being.
The extensive transformation of the office reflects Excel Dryer’s pioneering spirit and their unwavering commitment to challenging conventions in every aspect of their business. It highlights the company’s faith in the transformative power of innovation to shape environments that are not only visually impactful but also enriching for both people and the environment.
Rallying Others to Reimagine
Recognizing the capacity of their journey to inspire and educate others, Excel Dryer has launched an additional endeavor: a new continuing education unit (CEU) course in collaboration with the Architectural Records Continuing Education Center.
This course, entitled The Well Building Standard – Commercial Office Space, aims beyond merely sharing Excel Dryer’s accomplishments; it’s about instigating a dialogue with architects, designers, and the wider community. Participants are encouraged to explore fresh horizons in healthy and sustainable design, reimagining how spaces can be redesigned to advance both occupants’ well-being and environmental stewardship.
Excel Dryer, whose signature product line is featured in the Works With WELL Directory, is proud to be counted among manufacturers who put human health and well-being at the forefront of their operations. This company has illustrated that creating a visually impressive, human-centric and environmentally sustainable workplace is an achievable goal—one that starts with a solid vision and resolution to succeed.
