Here’s why

• Moving air breaks up the moisture-saturated boundary layer surrounding the body, accelerating the cooling effect.  This cooling effect can be increased dramatically if used in conjunction with misting or wetting of the cows backs.

• Flying insects stay away. Birds also react to the large, slow moving air foil blades and stay out!

Some time has passed since we first unveiled the MacroVoltaic, but I’m still as excited about the prospects that this innovation brings as I was when it was still in development!

But what I am thinking about today are the MacroAir customers that live in places where the sun isn’t shining today.  As we welcome the start of the fall season, some of our customers in cooler climates may wonder if the MacroVoltaic would even work for them.  The answer is absolutely!  We designed our solar fan to utilize an optional auxiliary and/or battery backup!  Of course the system can be used as a completely stand alone solar fan, which is absolutely ideal for use in remote locations or as an alternative for anyone unable to run traditional AC power sources.  But, used in conjunction with the auxiliary backup, the MacroVoltaic can store the power of the sun to use during the night or in cloudy weather.  And, when both the auxiliary and battery backup are used, the batteries are still charged through the solar panels, but the auxiliary power ensures that there is always a power source available to run the system.

Basically…what that means is that anyone, anywhere, and in any location, can use our MacroVoltaic fans – the ONLY solar HVLS fans on the market!  For more information about the MacroVoltaic, visit http://www.macro-air.com/products/big-solar-fan or call us at (866)668-3247.

Solar…even where the sun doesn’t shine!

Why do our fans work so well in refrigerated storage facilities?  Because they are able to de-stratify varying air layers from floor to ceiling, creating an environment with a consistent temperature and less than a +/- 1-2 degree differential.  This means that items stored at the top of storage racks are kept at the same temperature at those near the floor.  Additionally, MacroAir fans help reduce the load on air handlers and improve cycle times.

MacroAir helps to keep your cool buildings cool!  Call us at (866) 668-3247 for more information about how we can help you save money.

Until next time!

MacroAir recently purchased insulated water bottles for each of our 22 employees.  Of course, this purchase helps keep our employees cool and hydrated in the hot California summer and, more importantly, simultaneously cuts down on our use of Styrofoam cups, eliminating this waste and making a conscious and company-wide effort to become even more green.

We are always brainstorming new ways for the company to be more environmentally conscious.  In fact, another green project we are working on involves refining our packaging to use less cardboard.  When we make even the smallest efforts and changes, the benefits are immeasurable to our environment and to future generations!

Because we are committed to being green!

In environments where air conditioning is not feasible or possible, our HVLS fans provide an efficient and cost-effective alternative.  When used in conjunction with air conditioning systems, our HVLS fans can significantly reduce cooling costs.  Under moderate heat conditions, our industrial fans can be run without any air conditioning, cutting operating costs as much as 90% versus air conditioning and producing a pleasant open air environment.  On hot days, the industrial fans can be run with the air conditioning thermostat set 10 to 15 degrees warmer while still achieving an equivalent cooling effect.

And with our Performance Guarantee, there’s just no better time to install a MacroAir fan!

Have a safe and enjoyable, not to mention cool, Memorial Day Weekend!
Eddie

Being selected to collaborate with 4Front on this project is such an extreme honor.  It is because MacroAir excels in areas of importance, such as performance, durability, safety, and quality of manufacturing, that we were chosen as the only HVLS manufacturer deserving enough to be labeled with the Kelley and Serco name.  This partnership only solidifies our standing as the industry leader in HVLS fan technology!

I am so proud to welcome 4Front into the MacroAir family and to join theirs.  I truly believe that this partnership will bring great things for all of us!
Eddie

There are four learning objectives identified for the CEU, which state that participants will have the ability to:

1. Explain how the simple physics of moving air makes HVLS fans a low energy, more sustainable alternative to traditional high-speed fan and HVAC solutions.
2. Identify the numerous applications where HVLS fans offer an equal or better alternative to traditional HVAC approaches.
3. Identify the design aspects and ventilation benefits of HVLS fans that contribute to sustainability and LEED® credits.
4. Specify HVLS fans that efficiently meet client and user needs.

We are excited to have been able to sponsor this CEU credit.  If you’d like more information, click on the McGraw-Hill logo at the bottom of our website or visit: http://continuingeducation.construction.com/article.php?L=193&C=635

Until next time,
