DESTRATIFICATIONReduce energy costs by up to 30% by minimizing the temperature differential from the ceiling to the floor.

SkyBlade airfoils are engineered with STOL TECHNOLOGY (Short Take Off & Landing) to obtain the greatest amount of lift at slower speeds.

The more lift the airfoil can generate, the greater amount of air which can be displaced towards the floor.

Due to an increase of lift created by the airfoil, SKYBLADE fans can operate at lower speeds with less power consumption and produce a higher distribution of airflow than other styles of airfoils.

COOLINGCreate constant airflow to reduce perceived temperatures by 15°F.

Using SkyBlade HVLS FansMinimize temperature differential and

reduce the perceived temperature 5 to 15˚F

DESCRIPTION:SkyBlade Fan Company received an inquiry from a Sporting Facility experiencing daily obstacles with both heating & cooling. High energy costs during cooler months, players quickly fatiguing themselves from heat exhaustion and low attendance on warmer days were the issues plaguing this facility. With the building’s existing poor air movement, it was too hot for the players in the summer and too costly to heat the facility in winter. At the time, the Sporting Facility was using multiple small paddle fans to help cool the facility during the summer. However, this was not making a noticeable difference to either the players or operational energy costs. These small paddle fans were simply creating pockets of stagnant hot air and moving the warm air pockets around, causing the players to sweat more. Deciding that it was time to make a change to a cost friendly and cooler solution, the Sporting Facility found SkyBlade.

ISSUES:• Warmer Months: Players experiencing heat

exhaustion.• Cooler Months: Facilities high operational costs.

SOLUTION:SkyBlade evaluated the Sporting Facilities issues and drafted a grand slam solution. By using four 20 Ft. (6.1M) diameter STOL Series HVLS fans, SkyBlade was able to redirect the air flow through the building. STOL technology, integrated within the design of the blades, allowed slow moving columns of air to be redirected evenly over the courts. This redirection of air movement easily reduced the scorching temperatures present on the hottest summer days as well as provided a cool, non-breezy playing environment. During the winter season, the increase in building destratification introduced by our HVLS fans helped to evenly recycle and redistribute the heat trapped at the ceiling level throughout the facility, ultimately reducing the facilities seasonal heating cost by 25%. “It was an ace in our books!”, the head tennis manager told SkyBlade.
