Heat Stratification

SUMMARY Heat stratification — the natural rising of heat — costs businesses money, decreases worker productivity, wastes energy and stresses equipment. Stratification can even increase condensation spots, cause air stagnancy, and decrease the lifespan of lighting systems. Every business that has buildings with high ceilings is at risk for losses because of stratification. The goal is to find a solution

New Lease Life Commercial Lighting

SUMMARY Electrical lighting, especially in a commercial setting, can generate a considerable amount of heat. Even LED bulbs that stay relatively cool to the touch during use can generate quite a bit of heat at the point where they connect to the power source and this will contribute to the heat problem. Thermal buildup near the ceiling of a building,

Air distribution efficiency

SUMMARY Air movement, is an important consideration for increasing a building’s comfort and efficiency. Thermal stratification is a natural process that causes air to layer. Hot air rises to the ceiling, forcing cooler air to the floor. A destratification fan can help normalize temperatures and saving energy. How do Destratification Fans Impact Air Distribution? Stratification is a huge energy cost
