With buildings accounting for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions, the push for greener construction has never been more critical. Sustainable building initiatives are taking center stage as the world strives to reduce emissions. The industry is moving toward adaptive and net-zero buildings, emphasizing energy efficiency and environmental awareness across sectors. Broaden your expertise in energy-efficient and adaptive building design by exploring the role of high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fans in enhancing thermal comfort. This course shows why and how to specify HVLS fans as part of initial airflow designs to support sustainable building goals. Learners will discover how to optimize multiuse spaces for greater comfort through effective air distribution, temperature control strategies, and energy savings. By the end of the course, learners will have a solid understanding of HVAC efficiency challenges and solutions that align with LEED® v5 Building Design and Construction (BD+C), LEED v5 Interior Design and Construction (ID+C), WELL Building Standard™ version 2, ASHRAE, and OSHA standards. This course equips architects and engineers with practical strategies for integrating sustainable, cost-effective airflow solutions into their designs.

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

  • Explain the role of HVLS fans in adaptive building design and how they contribute to net-zero and LEED v5 BD+C and ID+C goals by supporting passive cooling strategies, renewable energy integration, and high-efficiency materials to minimize carbon footprints while maximizing resilience.
  • Analyze airflow challenges in large, multiuse spaces and identify effective distribution strategies to align with WELL and ASHRAE requirements for thermal and acoustic comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality.
  • Specify HVLS fans in coordination with HVAC systems, building management systems (BMS), and renewable energy sources to enable adaptive responses to changing occupancy and environmental conditions.
  • Assess the financial and operational benefits of HVLS fan implementation, highlighting their contributions to long-term ROI.

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