Benefits
The benefits AirMotion Sciences AltAir™ HVLS (High Volume – Low Speed) fans provide are numerous. First of all, AltAir fans are air movement systems, not just cooling systems. They move and mix lots of air. As a result, the masses of air they move are very effective in aiding cooling, heating (through heat de-stratification) and ventilation (see below). They also mix bad and noxious air (including humid air), which can cause damage to objects and food products, reducing damage and waste (and disease) due to unwanted moisture, all the while creating a healthier atmosphere to breathe. As a side benefit, they help eliminate birds and bugs and all the environmental damages they cause.
Accordingly, the major benefits of the quiet and gentle airflow of AirMotion AltAir HVLS fans are:
- Cooling - Large masses of air are moved at the optimal speed to create an evaporative cooling effect of 6-8 degrees. A cooler environment is created more effectively with AirMotion AltAir fans while replacing many other air movement solutions that typically require more power and energy.
- Heat De-stratification - At least 20% or more in heat savings may be realized in colder seasons. The industry rule of thumb suggests that there is about a 3%-5% savings in energy required for every degree of thermostat reduction. Heat de-stratification doesn’t result in thermostat reduction but results in less frequent heater cycling, creating the same basic effect. Most high roof facilities (typically with heaters installed in the ceilings blowing down against the naturally rising hot air) have at least a 15-degree differential (often much more) from floor to ceiling. AirMotion AltAir fans mix the trapped warmer air, making a more easily maintained uniform temperature and helping to eliminate heat loss from infiltration through ceiling and roof materials.
- As an alternative or supplement to Air Conditioning – Where air conditioning is present, AirMotion AltAir fans enable 3-8 degree thermostat increases with 3%-5% energy reductions per degree. All while reducing costly ducting and air conditioning tonnage (and related financial and human resources to build, install, and maintain).
- Ventilation – AirMotion AltAir fans efficiently and more effectively mix incoming fresh air with stale air, reducing the need for more costly IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) solutions while also minimizing the volume of air needing to be replaced (and corresponding loss of warm or cool air).
Ultimately, AirMotion HVLS fans get more air in more places, better. Due to their many benefits, they result in productivity increases while reducing energy usage. Greater productivity using fewer energy resources is a green concept that is in great demand - with a bonus of more comfortable and healthier work environments.
