Ensuring hands are dry is crucial for maintaining hygiene levels, but when a hand dryer is too slow, many people give up trying to get their hands completely dry and exit the bathroom with wet hands. This course discusses hand-drying concepts and the advantages of hand dryers with air knife technology. It also reviews the impact the choice of hand-drying equipment has on public health, occupant comfort, facility operations, and our environment.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Recognize the environmental, health, and economic benefits of energy-efficient hand dryers versus paper towels, and define the criteria for a hygienic hand dryer.
- Discuss how hand-drying choices can affect the accessibility and design of a space and impact restroom hygiene, occupant comfort, and public health.
- Explain how air knife technology works and the benefits of using touchless, water-saving products such as an air knife dryer and tap in one in creating healthier, safer restroom spaces for all users.
- Discuss hand-drying methods in terms of sustainability and energy efficiency and how the new technologies can reduce the environmental impact of the public restroom.
