Entrances, warehouses, and manufacturing plants. Three very different structures, but with one thing in common \u2013 characteristically high ceilings. If you\u2019re a facilities manager, service operator, or heating engineer, you\u2019ll know only too well how challenging it can be to efficiently regulate the temperature of these spaces. So where do you start? Find out with Elta…<\/strong><\/p>\n


\nWaste not, want not<\/strong>
\nThe latest ZOO Fans create a gentle column of hot air that is directed towards the floor (the area of occupation) rather than empty, unused space. This allows heat you may have previously wasted to be channelled to the area that it\u2019s needed most, thus ticking the all-important efficiency box. Better still, the latest destratification<\/strong> technology uses the same amount of energy as a 40 or 50 watt light bulb.<\/p>\n

Why use commercial fans to spread hot air across a large, unoccupied area when you can target the areas that people need it most? And why heat the ceiling in the region of 26 – 31\u00b0C when you only need a temperature of 21\u00b0C at ground level?<\/p>\n

The good news is, you may not have to any more thanks to the power of destratification. A ZOO Fan is a small ceiling fan capable of targeting the zone of occupancy (ZOO), while bringing about a whole host of other benefits. Put simply, it\u2019s the ventilation system you\u2019ll wish your building had installed sooner.<\/p>\n


\nCut the temperature differential by 95%<\/strong>
\nRather than having to factor in a temperature difference of 10-20\u00b0C from floor to ceiling, you may just be able to operate with a differential of just 0.5-1\u00b0C. That\u2019s a lot more wasted heat energy saved.<\/p>\n


\nLower bills<\/strong>
\nReduced energy wastage plus a much lower temperature differential equals lower bills. It really is as simple as that, as PepsiCo will vouch for, having reduced heating costs at its 1 million sq ft facility in Virginia by 30% within five weeks of having a ZOO Fan installed.<\/p>\n


\nLess wear & tear<\/strong>
\nDirecting heat to where it\u2019s needed allows thermostats to switch off quicker and heating systems to cycle off sooner \u2013 which ultimately reduces wear and increases the lifespan of your HVAC equipment.<\/p>\n


\nEasy to install<\/strong>
\nInstallation is a lot less invasive than traditional air movement methods. Using a simple cable and grip method, ZOO Fans can be fitted in minutes, and the self-contained design means that the fan won\u2019t interfere with lighting or sprinkler systems.<\/p>\n


\nImproved comfort & productivity<\/strong>
\nIn an office or warehouse \u2013 or any working environment for that matter \u2013 productivity is king. By eliminating hot and cold spots, a ZOO fan is able to ensure staff are comfortable enough to perform to their best. In fact, the same installation at PepsiCo boosted productivity by 5%.<\/p>\n


\nBacking from the Carbon Trust<\/strong>
\nDestratification is recommended as one of the Carbon Trust\u2019s effective energy-saving strategies for heating, meaning you can play your own part in accelerating the UK\u2019s move to a sustainable, low carbon economy.<\/p>\n


\nOptions to meet your needs<\/strong>
\nWhether you look after a warehouse in need of an open ceiling system for staff walking its aisles, or an office where you need more subtle, small ceiling fans to blend in with existing features, there\u2019s a ZOO fan out there for you.<\/p>\n


\nQuick payback<\/strong>
\nEvery business wants a return on its investment, and thanks to the savings in energy usage, you can expect your ZOO fan<\/strong> to pay for itself in just one to three years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
