HVLS stands for high-volume, low-speed…

…meaning that the fan moves much more air than a traditional fan, while rotating fewer times in a similar period, improving the overall efficiency of the ventilation achieved. Another big factor that separates HVLS fans from normal fans is the size of their blades (or airfoils). HVLS fans have longer blades so that they can generate large convections of air that travel farther and affect a greater area than traditional fans. This enables HVLS fans to thoroughly circulate the air in commercial and industrial applications that have large open areas like warehouses, hangars, sports arenas, terminal concourses, etc.

The answer to this one is no sweat…

…actually, it is sweat! Evaporative cooling takes advantage of water’s capability to remove energy (heat) as it changes from liquid to vapor and moves from one place to another. This is why we sweat to cool off and animals that don’t sweat find other sources of moisture to achieve evaporative cooling.

HVLS fans are so effective at moving air and equalizing temperature and humidity in a space, they can make the air feel up to 8 degrees cooler just by keeping humid, stagnant air from collecting around occupants. This, in turn, lets the occupants feel more comfortable and at ease with the task they are engaged in.

Balancing temperature and humidity can also keep condensation from collecting and causing slippery conditions or ruining stored items.

Hot air rises, right?...

…So, the air close to your ceiling can be surprisingly warmer than the air near your floor, and you! Worse, once heat gets trapped near your ceilings, it can stagnate and be hard to circulate back into the rest of the air in your space. And, since heat loss is faster when the difference in temperature is greater, energy is more quickly lost from hotter air near the ceiling. So, you don’t get to enjoy that heat AND you’re using more energy to keep your space warm.

By running your HVLS fan in reverse, air is pushed away from the ceilings, down the wall, and across the floor to evenly distribute air temperatures, without creating any chilling breeze.

TONS! Starting with your HVAC…

Big fans can make almost any commercial or industrial indoor climate more comfortable and efficient just by letting you ease off on the thermostat because the air is moving and more evenly distributed. This alone can save up to 20% on your energy bills.

And, if HVLS fans are incorporated into the design of the space huge savings can be made in HVAC equipment sizing, duct-material usage (or elimination thereof), and the associated labor. Not only will this reduce the cost of your design, but the savings in materials and increase in efficiency can earn you LEED points.

YES!...

Humidity and moisture distribution are core strengths of high-volume, low-speed fans. Even with powerful HVAC and dehumidification systems, avoiding mildew, stagnation, and condensation can be challenging. HVLS fans are ideal for maintaining the circulation necessary to avoid the temperature differentials that cause the condensation and moisture stagnation that lead to sweaty slab syndrome and poor indoor air quality.
