AIR MOVEMENT
B y minimising temperature differential to as little as 1°C, the latest destratification fan technology can reduce annual heating costs by as much as 30%. When you consider the total c ost of keeping large spaces at a comfortable t emperature for occupants, this can amount to a significant figure.
I t is also true that destratification fans, such as Elta Fans’ Zoo Fans range, require a less invasive installation than traditional air movement methods. They can be fitted in a matter of m inutes using a simple cable and grip method, a nd the self-contained design means the fan w on’t interfere with existing lighting or sprinkler s ystems. When you consider that time is money, any installation that keeps downtime / premises closure to a minimum can be seen as a massive bonus.
T hermal destratification also ensures that h eating systems as a whole suffer less wear and t ear. As heat is directed to where it is needed, it allows thermostats to switch off quicker and systems to cycle off sooner, which ultimately increases the lifespan of all HVAC equipment. Implementing thermal destratification
t echnology is primarily motivated by the need to maintain occupant comfort. A side-effect of this
is that it can actually boost productivity in facilities such as factories and
w arehouses. Ensuring a more ambient temperature and eliminating hot
and cold spots will enable employees to continue working for s ustained periods of time, in a comfortable environment.
It should also be n oted that there is a general increased f ocus on providing
comfortable working environments for staff. The concerning re-emergence of Sick Building Syndrome in offices (whereby poor air quality leads to a range of health concerns) highlights the work that needs to be done towards occupant well-being, and businesses cannot ignore the h ealth and safety of their employees. Thermal destratification is an effective and cost-efficient way to achieve this.
Those tasked with managing air circulation in premises with high ceilings face a number of challenges, required to balance potentially large energy bills with the need to achieve a c omfortable, ambient temperature.
By turning to the latest thermal destratification f ans, it is possible to prevent spiralling running costs, while simultaneously improving occupant comfort.
