HVLS Fans: How to Keep Your Facility Cool and Comfortable this Summer

What are HVLS Fans?

An HVLS fan is a large ceiling fan that moves a high volume of air at a low speed. The low speed ensures that circulating air is moved in a gentle manner rather than a loud or disruptive wind. The high volume of air effectively distributes airflow over a large area.

Why Keeping the Temperature Comfortable Matters.

In the summer, hot temperatures can decrease productivity and increase errors. When employees don’t feel comfortable in their place of work their output goes down. Maintaining a comfortable workplace temperature in the summer enhances employee well-being and operational efficiency.

What Temperature Should Your Facility Be?

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) a facility that is comfortable for employees and products should range between the temperature from 68 degrees Fahrenheit to 76 degrees Fahrenheit.

How Much Can an HVLS Fan Decrease Facility Temperature?

In the summer, HVLS fans create a cooling breeze by circulating air in a facility. An effective HVLS fan is capable of cooling a building by as much as 8 degrees Fahrenheit.

Which HVLS Fan Should I Use?

The AirVolution fans are the most popular choice when it comes to the HVLS selection. These fans are quiet, comfortable, and deliver measurable cost savings. One AirVolution fan is able to replace the equivalent of 10 conventional high-speed fans.
