⚡ Energy Savings Through Destratification
Cold Weather:
-
In tall buildings, temperature typically rises 0.5°F to 1°F for every foot of height.
-
A 20 ft facility may be 10–20°F hotter at the ceiling than at the floor.
-
Bucket Fans push superheated ceiling air to the floor, cutting heating bills by 25–33%.
Hot Weather:
-
In air-conditioned buildings, cold air from ceiling ductwork often loses efficiency battling rising warm air.
-
Up to 40% of input energy is wasted pumping excess cold air to overcome stratification.
-
Placing Bucket Fans near cold air registers pushes conditioned air where it’s needed most, lowering cooling costs.
✅ Rule of Thumb: Turn the air 1–2 times per hour for full destratification benefits.
📏 Sizing the Right Bucket Fan
-
Ceiling heights 20–30 ft: Use Bucket Fan 420
-
Ceiling heights 25–35 ft: Use Bucket Fan 1055
-
Ceiling heights 30–45 ft: Use Bucket Fan 1460
Example Calculation:
Building dimensions = 125 ft (L) × 75 ft (W) × 20 ft (H) = 187,500 cu. ft
Formula:
-
H × W × L = Air Volume (V)
-
V ÷ CFM ÷ 60 = Number of Fans
187,500 ÷ 1055 ÷ 60 = 2.96 fans → 3 Bucket Fans required (always round up).
