Ensuring that every aspect of a building is as efficient as possible is paramount in running a business and here are three product suggestions that can not only save your building thousands of dollars annually each, but help conserve resources. Every customer likes to hear that their favorite business has gone one step greener and these three prodcuts will give you serious weight in making environmental claims. Funnily enough, all of these products are for your restroom.
First, we look towards the sink, specifally where people go after washing hands. For years paper towels have been the norm and every time people see a comercial hand dryer, they sigh and walk away. The environmental benefits of a hand dryer are not hard to imagine, but unilt modern high speed hand dryers came along, no business could provide a good, solid alternative to paper towels. Modern hand dryers will completely remove paper towels and save on average 1500 pounds of paper per dispenser per year. The best ones use so little electricity that they require less than $20 per year to operate, and can be used with green energy alternatives.
Second, take a look at those urinals and toilets. The days of the gallon toilet will soon be gone, as water-efficient toilets and waterless urinals are finding their way in to restrooms at an alarming pace. Another product that is easy to imagine for the environmental savings, water-efficient toilets make sure that each drop of water is used as efficiently as possible, reducing the volume of water needed to operate a restroom and taking that extra water off of your water bill.
Last, take a look at those lights. LED lights drastically reduce that amount of energy required to light your restroom and if you put them on a motion sensor, they will onlky activate when someone is in the room. Conserbvation is key here, combining the abilities of only activiating when needed with using the most energy-efficient light bulb when the lkights actually do turn on.
Any one of these products will reduce your operating costs while making sure that you use as little of our planet's resources as possible. And like any good green product, they will save you money as well, freeing up budget so that you can spend it on anything that you deem in need of improvement.
