Ceiling Fans for Schools

Today’s educational buildings are designed to house more students and operate more efficiently than buildings of the past. Multi‐use facilities generally create larger occupancy levels and a greater need for air circulation. According to the Center for the Built Environment, temperature, air quality and noise level are the three most important factors when considering productivity. The Big Ass Fan Company worked fervently over the past decade to address these three factors while maintaining its fundamentally sustainable approach. As the demand for energy efficient products has grown, so has the product line.

Big Fan on Campus

Industrial-strength Big Ass Fans, such as Powerfoil® X2.0 and AirGo have long served the needs of large, non air-conditioned athletic environments such as football stadiums and indoor practice centers. For directional airflow, schools rely on the Pivot line and the all-new Yellow Jacket. In addition to tremendous energy savings, Big Ass Fans improve the comfort of student-athletes, thus enhancing their performance. Heat-related illnesses are a serious concern in many parts of the country, and Big Ass Fans are an effective and efficient way to beat the heat.

Quiet in Class!

Over the past few years, we introduced a commercial line that’s purpose-built to meet the demands of air conditioned athletic spaces and common areas. The 12‐20 ft Element and 8‐10 ft Isis, members of the commercial fan line, employ ultra‐high torque prime movers and produce less than 40 dBA at maximum operating speed, making them ideal for use in sound sensitive areas. Due to their advanced onboard controls, Element and Isis do not generate any electrical ‘noise’ such as radio frequency interference (RFI) that affects electromagnetic equipment (e.g. computers, monitors). In contrast, the large distances between the variable frequency drive and motor on outdated HVLS fans can generate electrical noise.

Lead By Example

Haiku, the world’s most efficient small ceiling fan, brings a silent and sustainable air movement solution to classrooms, cafeterias and any other small space. A cool-running motor with an integrated digital inverter drive delivers an 80% improvement in efficiency over conventional ceiling fan motors, showing your students that going green can be a breath of fresh air!

Nowadays, you’ll see the fans just about any application on campuses worldwide – even outdoor dining and recreation areas. Contact us and we’ll suggest a fan layout for your application.
