What is a HVLS Fan? Podcast Guest Appearance With BUILDINGS
LED Lighting Supply’s Cory Peterson joined the BUILDINGS Podcast to share expert insights on high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fans and their role in industrial energy efficiency.
In this 9-minute episode, Cory draws on LED Lighting Supply’s 15+ years of experience to provide consultative guidance on specifying HVLS fans for optimal building performance.
Key Takeaways:
- Understanding HVLS Technology: HVLS fans move large volumes of air at low speeds, creating effective air circulation that enhances comfort while reducing energy consumption in commercial spaces.
- Strategic Application: Our Product Specialists have found that HVLS fans work most effectively in large commercial buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and retail spaces where traditional HVAC systems struggle with air distribution and energy efficiency.
- Energy Cost Reduction: Based on our experience with hundreds of installations, HVLS fans can significantly reduce HVAC loads by improving air circulation and creating a cooling effect that allows facilities to raise thermostat settings without compromising comfort.
- Specification Considerations: Building owners and managers should evaluate ceiling height, space layout, existing HVAC systems, and specific airflow requirements when specifying HVLS fans. Our consultative approach ensures facilities get the proper fan solution that meets their unique project requirements.
