Element by Big Ass Fans: The Industrial Fan Reinvented for Commercial Spaces

With over 35,000 Big Ass Fans installed across the globe, Big Ass Fans has established itself as the leading manufacturer of huge ceiling fans. Throughout the past decade, Big Ass Fans has developed innovative air-circulation products that enhance comfort and reduce heating and cooling costs in large industrial buildings with high ceilings. The all-new 12-ft. diameter Element fan for commercial spaces was developed with the same principles in mind. Element incorporates the core characteristics of industrial Big Ass Fans, and refines them into a product that is perfectly matched to the needs of large commercial spaces where people work, exercise, eat, shop and congregate. Element is an energy-efficient, silent air movement solution designed specifically for large, air conditioned spaces. And with a variety of aesthetic options available, Element can blend into surroundings or become a true design feature of any environment. One key benefit for air conditioned spaces is Element’s ability to increase the efficiency of HVAC systems.When Element is integrated with HVAC systems, the result is a more cost-effective method of cooling and better air circulation. Element can often deliver a 10 to 15% reduction over stand-alone air conditioning systems. Due to its large volume of air movement, Element can also be used to distribute the air from the HVAC system year round. This significantly reduces the amount of ductwork required in buildings and lowers the overall energy consumption of HVAC systems. Element’s airfoils and its motor have also been radically redesigned for commercial spaces. The aerodynamic design of the airfoils and winglets, combined with Element’s size, help move vast amounts of air over large spaces for maximum coverage. And the Element DriveTM was designed exclusively for Element to provide silent and maintenance-free operation. Element is so technologically advanced that it expands the possibilities of current industrial fans. Only Element can offer lighting options, sense building occupants, detect smoke and be integrated into the building’s energy management system. In development for over three years, Element delivers unparalleled energy efficiency, increased functionality, high-performance operation and a sleek new look-all the needed features for commercial spaces.
