Enhanced Comfort at Adventure Rock Climbing Gyms with Airius Air Pear Fans

Adventure Rock, an indoor climbing facility with three locations in Wisconsin, sought to improve comfort for climbers and staff. The facilities, ranging in size from 10,000 to 17,000 square feet, feature ceiling heights up to 48 feet. Given the extreme temperatures in the upper Midwest, the gyms experienced significant temperature stratification, making it difficult to maintain a comfortable environment.

Challenge

Adventure Rock faced notable temperature stratification issues, particularly during the cold winter months. Climbers found the temperature nearly unbearable after reaching 10 feet, with those on the ground remaining cold and those higher up feeling uncomfortably hot. Existing fans failed to push the warm air down effectively. Additionally, the placement of any new fans had to ensure safety, as climbers could potentially reach them.

Solution & Implementation

The management team decided to install Airius Air Pear fans, which met their specific requirements. These fans are designed to be safe for climbers, as they can be placed higher up and out of reach for climbers and do not allow easy access to the fan blades. Furthermore, the compact size of the Air Pear fans was ideal for the limited ceiling space available in the gyms.The installation process for the Airius Air Pear fans was straightforward. The most challenging part was reaching the high ceilings, but once in place, the fans were easy to plug in and operate. Multiple cord configurations facilitated the installation, and the smaller size of the Air Pear fans made them easier to handle compared to standard commercial ceiling fans. Adventure Rock installed various models, including the Air Pear 25, 35, and 55, over multiple installation dates, with the latest installation in 2022.

Results

The results were immediate and impressive. The comfort of members and guests improved significantly. Previously, temperature differences between the ceiling and floor could reach up to 9 degrees on particularly cool days. With the Airius Air Pear fans, this difference was reduced to about 1 degree, providing a much more tolerable environment.

“I love Airius fans. I have seen how they can improve the comfort in our climbing facilities. I have been in other facilities that have used other style destratification fans and they just don’t seem to work as well. If I am ever talking with someone who is building a new climbing facility, I always make the suggestion to look into Airius fans.”

The installation of Airius Air Pear fans at Adventure Rock demonstrates the powerful impact of advanced destratification technology in indoor climbing gyms. By providing efficient air circulation and significantly reducing temperature stratification, the Air Pear fans have enhanced the comfort for climbers and staff, ensuring a more enjoyable experience in all three facilities.
