Summer cooling costs can strain facility budgets. Industrial fans offer an effective strategy for reducing these expenses while maintaining or improving comfort levels.
Here's how to leverage fans for summer energy savings.
The Cooling Cost Problem
Air conditioning is expensive in large spaces. The combination of high temperatures, large volumes, and heat-generating activities creates enormous cooling loads.
- AC costs can spike 50%+ in summer months
- Larger spaces mean larger energy bills
- Solar gain through roofs adds to loads
- Equipment and people generate additional heat
The Fan Strategy
Moving air creates a cooling effect on people—typically 4-6°F equivalent. This allows you to raise thermostat settings while maintaining comfort, directly reducing AC costs.
Each degree of thermostat increase saves 3-5% on cooling.
Fan Economics
Industrial fans use a fraction of the energy that air conditioning requires. HVLS fans in particular provide massive coverage at minimal operating cost.
The energy savings typically far exceed fan operating costs.
