Field research from the University of California, Berkeley\u2019s Center for the Built Environment and the University of Sydney, demonstrates how targeted industrial air movement directly mitigates heat burdens in unconditioned spaces where full-building air conditioning is impractical.<\/p>\n<p>\nResearchers monitored 30 factory workers across regular shifts at two manufacturing facilities in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, alternating periods with industrial fans running versus fans turned off:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Cooling Effect:<\/b> Workers reported conditions comparable to working in an environment <b>10 degrees cooler<\/b>, when industrial fans were operating.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Worker Effectiveness:<\/b><b>79%<\/b> of workers reported feeling more effective at their jobs with active industrial air movement.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Workplace Necessity:<\/b><b>100% of surveyed workers<\/b> cited having industrial fans running as important in their workplace.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u201cField studies in active manufacturing environments are rare because they\u2019re hard to execute,\u201d said Charlie Huizenga, a founding researcher at the Center for the Built Environment at UC Berkeley. \u201cBy monitoring workers under real Louisiana conditions, we found that air movement significantly reduced discomfort and perceived effort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAccording to internal market analysis by Big Ass Fans, fewer than 20% of U.S. industrial facilities maintain conditioned air, leaving millions of square feet exposed to extreme summer temperatures, during which labor capacity can fall by 30% to 50% during peak heat spikes.

While full-building HVAC is cost-prohibitive for large open plants, high-volume air speed solutions operate on 20 to 30 times less energy than conventional air conditioning\u2014eliminating massive energy waste while closing the productivity gap.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWhen work feels harder and employees feel less effective, the entire operation carries that burden,\u201d said Leah Larson, CEO of Big Ass Fans. \u201cThis study proves how direct industrial air movement protects worker well-being and productivity on the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>What Researchers Discovered on the Factory Floor<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe study took place over two three-week periods during the spring and summer of 2025\u2014first in late May and early June, and again in August. Researchers tracked environmental and physiological conditions alongside subjective surveys. Oral temperature and heart rate increased with ambient temperature, regardless of industrial fan status. Sweat rates, however, were lower with fans running during the May and June study period and during August mornings.<\/p>\n<p>\nOne worker described the impact after the study: \u201cThe days when the fans were off, were bad days, and tiring days, when I got off work I felt completely drained and dehydrated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Navigating Temperature Guidelines<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe research results add real-world evidence to an ongoing regulatory debate over fan use in extreme heat. Current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance advises using fans only when temperatures are below 90\u00b0F, while more recent World Health Organization guidance, based on the current understanding of how the human body regulates its temperature, recommends using fans at temperatures up to 104\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cA single temperature cutoff misses much of what determines whether air movement helps,\u201d said Brian Hilander, VP of Engineering and Operations at Big Ass Fans. \u201cHumidity and radiant heat shape the result, as does the work being performed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Take Action on Heat Stress<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nTo view the full research summary from UC Berkeley and the University of Sydney visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fbigassfans.com%2Fheat-tax&amp;esheet=54600469&amp;newsitemid=20260909336812&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=bigassfans.com%2Fheat-tax&amp;index=2&amp;md5=b25d239f5d13aa4dec842ba40a5dc110\"><b>bigassfans.com\/heat-tax<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>About Big Ass Fans<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nBig Ass Fans is a leading manufacturer of high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fans, and directional fans for industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
