Situated on the Thorpe Underwood Estate, set in more than 220 acres of beautiful North Yorkshire countryside, Queen Ethelburga’s has provided students with a vibrant and supportive school community since 1912. Chapter House is one of four schools at Queen Ethelburga’s. Overall, the group caters for children ranging from 3months to year 13.
The challenge
The school was undergoing a refurb. It was decided they wanted a space saving and energy efficient product which was also value for money. They were to replace slow drying, high energy using conventional hand dryers.
The results
- Estimated annual cost to use old hand dryers: £3733.33 (based on 12p per kW/h)
- Estimated annual cost to use new hand dryers: £1078.93 (based on 12p per kW/h)
- Annual cost savings: £2654.40
- Payback period: approx. 2.2 years
They are sleak, stylish and quiet. The design works well with the refurb we’ve done and they dry your hands compared to previous ones we’ve had!
