The Low Down on HVLS Fans

Written by Big Ass Fans | Mar 17, 2023 3:57:47 AM

Creating a space that is functional, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally sustainable can be challenging. We understand that no space can be designed without creativity, technical thinking and problem solving. 

What is a HVLS fan

We’ve created a solution, which you might say - hits all three criteria. Much like the rest of Australia; we feel and understand the pressures coming from the constant rise of energy bills. To combat this, we have constructed an economically viable solution to these challenges.

 

Our HVLS fans combine stylish designs with a sustainable edge. 

 

Through implementing the right formula of our fans with a HVAC system, we have seen energy savings of up to 30%, without sacrificing the overall comfort of patrons. The idea behind our energy saving success is to  increase the temperature of the HVAC system by 1-3 degrees, by offloading some of the cooling work to the fans. Fans cool people, not rooms. As air is passed over our skin, it evaporates the moisture, giving a perceived cooling effect.

 

The size of our fans allows for the air to be evenly distributed, minimising hot/cold spots within the room and overall, puts less pressure on the HVAC system. This combination can give a perceived cooling effect of up to 6 degrees. We’ve run the stats; and for every degree higher that the thermostat is set, there is an energy saving of 6-9%. 

 

Of course! We think our fans are pretty stylish too. We want to be part of your vision, which is why our commercial fans come fully customisable. With a variety of premium finishes and a range of custom colours, our fans will suit any space and complement any décor.
