February 2024 Chapter Meeting: Four Advanced Air Circulating Fan Topics

Topic: Four Advanced Air-Circulating Fan Topics
This fast-moving and multi-focused presentation examines four different subtopics that highlight how mechanical design and system operation can be improved by integrating air-circulating fans to enhance system performance and boost the occupant experience. The aim is to provide updates and information on recent research findings that can influence novel designs and unlock better performance of the built environment.

Subtopics:

• Fan Air Distribution and Duct Optimization
• Increasing Radiant Panel System Performance
• Using Fans to Mitigate Climate-Change-Induced Heat Strain and HVAC Performance Losses
• Application of Ceiling Fans in a Post-Pandemic World
