12. Energy Efficient Use of Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely
heavily on the proper installation and use of the
ceiling fan. Here are a few tips to ensure quality and product
performance.
Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location.
Ceiling fans should be installed, or mounted, in the
middle of the room and at least 7 feet above the floor
and 18 inches from the walls. If ceiling height allows,
install the fan 8 - 9 feet above the floor for optimal
airflow. Consult your Luminance Brands Retailer for optional
mounting accessories.
Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round. In the summer,
use the ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise direction.
The airflow produced by the ceiling fan creates a wind-
chill effect, making you "feel" cooler. Select a fan speed
that provides a comfortable breeze, lower speeds consume
less energy. In the winter, reverse the motor and operate
the ceiling fan at low speed in the clockwise direction.
This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near
the ceiling down into the occupied space. Remember to adjust
your thermostat when using your ceiling fan - additional
energy and dollar savings could be realized with this simple
step!
Turn Off When Not in the Room. Ceiling fans cool
people, not rooms. If the room is unoccupied, turn off the
ceiling fan to save energy.
