The Costs of an Overheated Warehouse
Turning up the AC is an obvious cost of trying to regulate the temperature in a warm warehouse. In fact, air conditioning accounts for 10-25% of most business' summertime energy use. But that's not the only area where your profits can take a hit.
Studies show that productivity begins to decrease by 1-2% at minimum for every degree the temperature in your warehouse rises above 77°F. This can result in a less efficient workforce, and even missed days of work.
But there's a solution: High Volume Low Speed fans.

HVLS Fans to the Rescue
Even the best HVAC system has limitations—namely, air stratification. This naturally occurring, air layering effect allows large air pockets with different core temperatures to remain intact, whether your HVAC system is running or not. It's the reason why a lower floor in a building can be considerably cooler than a higher floor. That's where High Volume Low Speed fans (like the Powerfoil X3) can help.
HVLS fans rely on size rather than speed to move large amounts of air efficiently and quietly, which cools down hot spaces and creates a uniform temperature.
