Toyota Kilmore, a premier car dealership located just north of Melbourne in Kilmore, Victoria, sought a cost-efficient heating and cooling solution for their new showroom. Dealer Principal Graeme Dove aimed to ensure controllable air movement throughout the year to work in conjunction with their air conditioning system, prioritizing improved thermal comfort for customers and staff as well as energy savings.

Results
“At Kilmore Toyota, we have underfloor heating and high ceilings. In winter, the heating needs to be at floor level for the comfort of our staff and customers, not concentrated in the ceiling space. Similarly, in summer, we required cooling throughout our showroom area.
We considered conventional ceiling fans after being advised we needed air circulation and destratification. However, after seeing the Airius Air Pears in use elsewhere and reading the reviews, we made some further enquiries and purchased 12 of the new Airius Model R20 ‘Eyeball’ units.
We found the Airius units to be quiet, efficient, and noticed they moved the air around the space effortlessly and are very good at balancing the temperature in our large space. That was important for us. They are also inconspicuous, hanging with our high bay lighting, which suits our new architectural facility beautifully.
I would recommend the use of Airius in any facility, especially where there is a need to contain heating and cooling costs and ensure your customers are comfortable.”

The installation of Airius Retail Series Model R20 EC fans at Toyota Kilmore demonstrates the powerful impact of advanced destratification technology in car showrooms. By providing efficient heating and cooling and improving air circulation, the Airius fans have significantly enhanced the environment for all showroom occupants while also contributing to operational cost savings and energy efficiency.
