In any type of building, including retail outlets, grocery stores, warehouses and plants, manufacturing facilities, churches, gyms and even in entertainment venues, destratification fans are used to circulate the air, creating uniform temperature from the top of the room to the bottom and in all areas around the room.
The larger the space, and the higher the ceiling, the more essential it is to break up the layers or the stratification of the cold to hot air. By maintaining an even temperature throughout the room, the HVAC system does not have to work as hard to maintain the desired temperature, which assists in reducing heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
Pricing Considerations
Most facilities managers or building owners are interested in reducing their cost of heating and cooling. By comparing the anticipated savings for the specific facility, it is easy to see how this quickly offsets the destratification fans’ cost. In most facilities, installation of the fans results in at least a 30% savings, which quickly adds up throughout the year.
Most building managers and owners are surprised to find how little destratification fans cost. These fans can be designed to work in grid ceilings, which is ideal for retail outlets, vestibules, entrances, and other similar types of applications.
These fans are designed to work independently and without ducts, or they can be connected to existing ductwork. The differences in the styles impact the destratification fans’ cost.
The other option in this type of fan is for open ceilings that are typical in warehouses, high ceilings in entertainment venues, and even in churches or school gyms and auditoriums. These fans can be color matched to your specific facility to blend into the ceiling or to add to the overall design and style that is right for the space.
