Big Ass Fans in Giant Eagle

A Giant Concern

Presenting a new store layout, Giant Eagle® broke ground on a cutting-edge Market District Store in 2008. With 22,000 square feet of open retail space and peaked ceilings reaching 40 feet, conditioning the space effectively and efficiently was no simple task. Giant Eagle required a solution that would keep the store comfortable for shoppers without wasting energy on excessive heating and cooling.

The Key to Efficiency

Two 12-ft Element® fans from Big Ass Fans® to efficiently distribute conditioned air.

The Correct Specification

The 22 small, traditional ceiling fans originally specified for the atrium were replaced with two silent, energy-efficient Element fans. These large diameter, low speed fans circulate hot air trapped at the ceiling down to the occupant/thermostat level providing gradual, gentle air movement. Element’s unprecedented electronic system incorporates on-board controls that eliminate electrical noise while internal diagnostics monitor the balance, temperature and electrical consumption of the fan. Sustainable operation not only saves Giant Eagle money, but also demonstrates its commitment to conserving energy and providing employees and customers with a comfortable environment.
