Using a ceiling mounted Big Ass fan provides bi-directional airflow and elevated air speed as a powerful way to keep workers and guests comfortable in a space. Immediately underneath a Big Ass fan, airflow is pushed downward.
Outside its diameter, the airflow transitions to horizontal air movement, providing comfortable airflow over a large area as per ASHRAE Standard 55’s thermal comfort calculations.
Summer: Industrial Heat Stress Prevention
Industrial and commercial buildings often suffer a common problem: moderate to excessive heat that can impact employee safety and productivity.
Safety and comfort can make the difference between retaining talent and having a high-turnover workforce. Make heat stress safety a priority and treat it as you would any other occupational hazard. A strategic deployment of fans can help keep your team safe and productive.

Destratification Leads to Year-Round Savings
HVLS Fans in Winter
By using a Big Ass ceiling fan in winter, you can create the air movement needed to mix heated air at the ceiling with cold air at the floor, effectively destratifying these layers and erasing the temperature difference.
With uniform temperatures throughout the space, heaters don’t need to run as frequently to maintain thermostat set points, resulting in energy savings up to 30%.
