Big Ass Fans®, the leading manufacturer of huge ceiling fans for industrial, agricultural, and commercial facilities worldwide, announced that seven Powerfoil Plus fans were installed in the first LEED Platinum airport hangar at the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California. According to Big Ass Fans, the Powerfoil Plus fans help cool the hangar in warmer months and provide heat destratification in the colder months, providing comfortable air temperatures for technicians working in the hangar.

The 24-foot diameter Powerfoil Plus fans significantly reduce energy costs through improved air circulation thanks to the aerodynamic design of Big Ass Fans that allows them to move vast amounts of air very efficiently at slow speeds, using very little energy to operate. The even air distribution throughout the hangar’s space inhibits heat loss through the roof in colder months and provides gentle, cooling breezes in the summer.
