Take The Test

Chose a more efficient hand dryer

Even in a small office building, unseen energy use can be high. The Mitsubishi Electric Wave hand dryer range is designed to use less energy thanks to the use of ultra-efficient motors for the fans, and smooth airflow. As a result of this design, our hand dryers use as little as 490w and can dry a user’s hands in just 9 seconds.

Over the course of a year, the savings from a more efficient, eco friendly hand dryer can build up. In a typical medium sized office, where people are using the dryers 250 times each day, the reduction in carbon emissions and energy costs can be significant.

Reducing Environmental Impact

Reducing CO2 Emissions with Eco Friendly Hand Dryers

The Mitsubishi Electric Wave u02 is one of the most efficient hand dryers available. Over the course of a year, when used 250 times daily, it will be responsible for just 82KG of CO2 based on electricity generation. By comparison, the carbon footprint of a conventional model will be more than three times higher – an average of 265KG of CO2.

Eco friendly hand dryers compare even better with paper towels. The equivalent number of paper towels would generate more than 1,500KG of CO2, and contribute to environmental damage through the need to send them to landfill.

Reducing Energy Costs with Eco Friendly Hand Dryers

Lower energy use translates into lower electricity bills. Running in eco mode, at average energy costs, in a medium sized office, the annual running costs for a Mitsubishi Electric Wave u02 are just £24. Running a conventional hand dryer at the same frequency would cost around £80, while paper towels would cost more than £700 annually.
