Be Cool: How Designers Can Improve Thermal Comfort with HVLS Fans

This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.

In this one-hour presentation, we explore how HVLS fans can contribute to LEED v4, increase thermal comfort, and provide a silent and elegant design strategy. We discuss how to save energy and improve indoor air quality for building occupants. Our team will explain how HVLS fans provide a creative design solution that effectively moves large amounts of air within occupied spaces to cool building occupants, maintain thermal comfort, and support ventilation strategies. Finally, we will review computational fluid dynamics to measure airflow performance and impact to a space and how this can contribute to LEED v4 certification.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Discuss how continuous air movement positively affects thermal comfort and indoor air quality.
  • Describe the energy efficiency strategy behind HVLS fans and how they can contribute to occupant comfort and LEED v4 BD+C EQ Credit: Thermal Comfort.
  • Define effective temperature and discuss how enhanced air movement strategies can contribute to LEED v4 BD+C EQ Credit: Enhanced Indoor Air Quality Strategies.
  • Review innovations in computational fluid dynamics to measure airflow performance and impact to a space and how HVLS fans can contribute to LEED v4 BD+C EA Prerequisite: Minimum Energy Performance.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
