Designed to Lower Operating Costs by Reducing Energy Consumption

Whalenado™ HVLS fans stabilize facility temperatures to reduce heat loss in the winter and generate a cooling effect in summer months. In combination with current utility energy saving rebate programs, Whalenado™ HVLS fans can provide:

• An average return on investment between 1-2 years from a reduction in natural gas consumption combined with available utility rebates.

• A 5-9°C cooling effect that improves employee working conditions during the summer cooling cycle

• A reduction in heating costs of approximately 1% for every foot of ceiling height

• A savings of approximately 6% for every degree a thermostat does not have to be lowered to achieve the desired cooling in the summer

• Reduced year-round energy consumption as compared to conventional fans due to a more efficient motor

• Improved employee comfort resulting in less frequent employee breaks due to heat stress

“This is an exciting time for our customers and the planet” advises Chris Brady, VP of Sales at Northern Dock Systems. “Never before has a customer been able to recoup on average 40% of their investment in the first year while having a positive impact on the environment”.
