Consistent temperatures
June 1st 2009

To improve employee comfort at warehouse facilities in the Netherlands, producer of low-energy skylights, Ubbink has replaced three high-speed ceiling fans with just one high volume/low speed Revolution Fan from Caljan Rite-Hite. The 4.88m diameter fan keeps the temperature consistent in an area of approx. 30 x 20m, even in the corners. Draughts are avoided as the air is de-stratified to keep temperatures consistent from floor to ceiling.

As well as the improved work environment, warehouse manager, Marcel Dibbes is also impressed by the savings on energy costs: "The marginal effect of the high-speed fans, which was apparent only if you stood directly beneath them, didn't equate with the high energy consumption. The investment in the Revolution Fan has proved to be really worthwhile. We expect a payback time of just two years."
