When you are ready to choose fans for your facility, what first factor would you consider? Saving cost, workers’ feelings, or others? HVLS ceiling fans can help you realize several ideas.
According to research, managing indoor air quality is the most critical first step. Excessive hot and cold air, indoor pollutants, and air retention are all signs of poor air quality, which can cause breathing difficulties and illnesses to employees and product quality control risks. Through proper air circulation, such air quality problems can be eliminated by HVLS fans. HVLS ceiling fans are particularly suitable for this field because HVLS ceiling fans can move large amounts of air with minimal energy. By providing large air volume, HVLS ceiling fans can reduce the temperature of the equipment while allowing air to flow and avoid dusty environments.
High air volume can also quickly eliminate toxic air chemicals. In addition, the HVLS ceiling fan can also control the humidity of the facility, especially where it is related to condensation. Condensation water will form on the floor between the two different climate control environments, posing a significant safety hazard. Proper indoor airflow will quickly dry this condensed water to reduce the risk of falls and pollutants, and bacteria associated with uncontrolled moisture.
In the hot summer, we have customers who have encountered this situation. The customer uses floor fans in the warehouse without air conditioning to keep the workers cool. However, floor fans can only provide an excellent working environment for nearby employees. Several technical engineers cannot usually work due to heat stroke as the temperature rises. The client company was also required to forcibly close the warehouse in the hot summer to allow employees to rest to avoid this situation from happening again. This greatly affected the company's regular operations and caused huge losses. After that, two sets of 24ft diameter HVLS ceiling fans were installed in the warehouse, and the company leaders and workshop employees immediately noticed the temperature changes. The workers even said that the cool breeze of the warehouse is a more pleasant environment than the work areas with air conditioners.
With the popularity of HVLS ceiling fans in various industries, more and more customers realize that HVLS ceiling fans can provide employees with a healthier and more comfortable working environment, thereby reducing employee complaints and absentee days. It also improves overall productivity. According to research, labor productivity will decrease in a high-temperature environment, and productivity will decrease by 3% for every one ℃. At the same time, continued high temperatures may reduce worker attendance.
With this in mind, we surveyed some customers. Before installing HVLS ceiling fans, they also used other ventilation equipment, such as pedestals, barrel fans, and swamp coolers. These cannot effectively make the entire workforce feel cold, the failure rate is high, and maintenance is a headache. After installing the GX HVLS ceiling fan, the HVLS ceiling fan can run fans all day to promote air circulation and prevent heat accumulation. Due to the relaxed and comfortable working environment, the sickness rate of employees has been dramatically reduced, and the number of absentees has also been reduced. At the same time, the productivity of employees has been significantly improved. These have effectively helped the company save production costs.
We can learn from the above obviously that not all fans are the same. There are significant differences between HVLS ceiling fans and traditional high-speed fans: 1) Noise reduction; 2) Minimizing energy consumption per square foot; 3) Saving about $1 in operating costs per day. In addition, the cordless design of the HVLS ceiling fan provides a safer working environment and eliminates the risk of employees tripping over wires. The arrangement of wires in many companies is also one of the critical factors carefully considered. By the way, the HVLS ceiling fan can provide a 5-6 ° C perceived temperature difference in warm summer. In winter, it is essential that the HVLS ceiling fan sustainably pushes the warm air of the ceiling to the floor, evenly distributed warm air, and allows the HVAC to work more efficiently. This can save up to 30% on heating costs.
Because of all these factors, the HVLS ceiling fan is becoming a comprehensive solution to improve energy saving, cost savings, and labor health and safety in various industries. No matter which industry, the company's success is ultimately built on the security and health of employees. If you have already installed HVLS ceiling fans for your facility, you have led another step-by-step. If this is the first time that you learned about the HVLS ceiling fan, please help your employees as soon as possible to provide a comfortable and healthy working environment.
