Challenge: Stratification
Challenge: Stratification
Stratification means that the air in spaces settles into layers based on temperature. Cold air is denser, so it sinks down to the floor, while warmer, lighter air from heaters rises to the ceiling. The higher the ceiling, the worse the problem gets. Attempts to fend off workplace cold often result in significant heating bills and spaces that are still colder at floor level.
Solution: Airflow to mix the air
By using HVLS ceiling fans in winter, you can create the air movement needed to mix heated air at the ceiling with colder air at the floor, effectively destratifying these layers and creating a more uniform temperature throughout the space.
Example
If you have your fan running at a low speed, it can slowly push the warm air from the ceiling down to workers on the ground; without creating a draft.
Applications
Every Big Ass Fans overhead fan is engineered to destratify a wide variety of spaces. With a patented airfoil system, broad coverage area, and variable speed control, each fan is designed to save money in all types of commercial and industrial spaces.
Energy Savings
With more uniform temperatures throughout the space, heaters can run less frequently to maintain thermostat set points, which can result in energy savings.
