Summer comfort in educational establishments: ceiling fans to the rescue?
With hot spells sometimes starting in May and ending in September, educational establishments are increasingly confronted with thermal discomfort that degrades learning conditions. What solutions are becoming possible to improve the situation in existing buildings?
Minimum height under blades: what are the safety rules?
Ceiling fans are high-speed devices. Take the case of a fan with standard blades. Its rotation speed often exceeds 200 rpm. That’s 50 km/h at the tip of the blades! Without wishing to caricature the situation, a head-on collision with a car at 50 km/h can be a bad time to spend. To take this into account, let’s look at the safety rules that have been laid down to limit the risk of injury.
Air movers and air conditioning: a marriage of convenience?
A little thermal comfort is welcome. The question of coupling air movers and air conditioning is on the agenda. Of course, there is a real physical difference between these systems. In energy terms, air mixing has little impact, whereas air conditioning has a high consumption. Let’s take a look at this combination of air conditioning and ventilation in the warm season.

Summer comfort: the new DPE (Energy performance diagnosis) puts ceiling fans centre stage
It wasn’t until January 2022, with the entry into force of the 2020 environmental regulations (RE 2020), which apply to new buildings, that a new indicator was introduced: the degree-hour of discomfort or DH. With this new value, ceiling fans are included in the regulations.

Air movers and RE2020: holes in the racket?
For air movers, the RE2020, the new environmental regulation for new buildings, is a great step forward. Ceiling fans are now recognised as strong pillars of summer comfort. However, the regulation misses important benefits of air movers in relation to thermal comfort and energy consumption.
What are these beneficial impacts that have yet to be integrated into the RE2020?
