An independent study has found destratification fans to be the optimal ventilation solution for reducing toxic exhaust fumes from semi-trailers reversing into a large warehouse loading dock. Concerningly, it was also found that mechanical ventilation solution “deemed to satisfy” the Australian Standard, actually resulted in worse conditions than having no ventilation at all, because the CO was actually drawn into…
If you live in parts of Australia that have a significant heating component in your climate, heating bills can become expensive – especially if you have a larger space that you need to heat. Southern locations such as Melbourne (6-7 months heating cycle), Sydney (5-6 months), South Australia (7 months) and Tasmania (9-months) all experience a significant portion of the…
The future of energy costs are looking expensive, with the massive disruptions caused by the demise of coal and the increase in coal pricing, retirement of coal fired power assets within ten years, along with the significant electrical infrastructure changes needed to switch the power grid over to a renewable base. If you combine this with climate change, and the…
Air movement using fans is normally equated with vertical air flow. You mount the fan on the roof and blow air downwards. The only time one sees horizontal air movement is usually when using pedestal or wall mounted axial fans which are very ineffective at moving air over any sort of distance. They certainly make a lot of noise and…
Destratification is one of the most effective energy reduction strategies available on the market, offering significant savings on heating costs. Yet the concept is still a relatively new one to many throughout Australia and New Zealand that spend a fortune on heating costs throughout the cooler months. What is destratification? Thermal stratification is a natural phenomenon that affects all buildings….
