The future of sustainable design brightens
as Dyson unveils the latest Airblade™ hand dryer: White.
More than ever architects and designers recognize the need for environmentally responsible design, without sacrificing aesthetics. Answering this challenge, Dyson introduces the latest iteration of the Airblade™ hand dryer, White. Drying hands in just 12 seconds, the white Airblade™ is a sustainable, hygienic hand drying solution that suits distinctive styles.
From hotels and restaurants to universities and airports, businesses recognize that sustainability isn’t just about being energy efficient. Reducing overall carbon emissions is the key. From logistics and operations to purchasing, organizations are reconsidering every element of their business, and making greener choices. With a low carbon footprint the newest Dyson Airblade™ helps facilities reduce their environmental impact without compromising style.
Stephanie Fink of New York’s Time Warner Center agrees. "We considered other hand dryers, but they did not fit the look and feel of our newly renovated restrooms.” Fink recognized the benefits of the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer, “faster, quieter and a sleek looking unit to compliment our sophisticated restrooms.”
The machines can be found nestled amongst designer labels in H. Lorenzo boutique in Los Angeles. “I was amazed when I first saw Dyson’s hand dryer,” recalls owner, Lorenzo Hadar. “Not only did it work, it looked good.”
The real beauty of the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer is how it works. Powered by the Dyson digital motor, the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer creates a high speed sheet of unheated air to scrape hands dry in just 12 seconds, using up to 80% less energy than warm air hand dryers. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) recognizes the environmental benefits of the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer and its contribution to a building achieving a LEED rating.
Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles sought out an alternative to wasteful paper towels. Lon Rosenberg, VP of Stadium Operations, comments “By installing the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer we’re sending 65% less paper waste to landfill.” The change goes a long way in reducing the stadium’s overall carbon emissions.
The Dyson Airblade™ is the first and only hand dryer to receive the Carbon Reduction Label from the Carbon Trust. No other hand drying method comes close. In fact, the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer has a 73% smaller carbon footprint than a warm air hand dryer and 76% less than recycled paper towelsi.
From start to finish, the Dyson Airblade™ is the fastest hand drying solution, and is environmentally sound. With the launch of the white Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer, architects and designers need no longer sacrifice style for sustainability.
