When you look up in most commercial buildings, the ceiling is often filled with infrastructure—ductwork, lighting, fire suppression systems, and various other fixtures. This crowded environment can make it challenging to locate and install additional ceiling-mounted equipment, such as fans. The issue becomes even more complicated with large propeller-style fans, which can span up to 24 feet in diameter and require additional clearance beyond their physical size.
One of the key advantages of Airius fans is how easily they can be coordinated with other ceiling-mounted systems. This benefit comes from their compact size and the fact that the fan blades are fully enclosed within the housing. Together, these features result in a much smaller installation footprint compared to traditional open-blade fans.
This compact design offers a significant advantage for engineers during the design phase. When balancing architectural requirements with the placement of lighting, fire sprinklers, and other ceiling elements, Airius fans can be positioned around obstructions without compromising performance.
This flexibility also carries over into retrofit applications. When dealing with known limitations in existing structures, Airius fans make the installation process far simpler. Installers can plan ahead to ensure that each fan is positioned where its vertical air column has a clear path to the floor, maximizing its effectiveness.
At Airius, we take great pride in this aspect of our fan systems. It allows us to confidently tailor each fan layout to the unique characteristics of the building, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. If you’re interested in learning more about how our fans can be integrated into your building, our sales team would be happy to help you explore the best placement and application for your space.
