Improving Workplace Comfort & Efficiency at Rasmussen Mechanical Services with Airius Air Pear Fans 

improving workplace comfort

Rasmussen Mechanical Services, a 30,000 sq. ft. facility in Council Bluffs, IA, faced significant temperature imbalances due to the layout of its three-story indoor space. Heat naturally rose to the upper levels, making the second-floor mezzanine uncomfortably warm, while the main-floor offices remained much cooler. Rasmussen Mechanical Services installed Airius Air Pear Fans to evenly redistribute warm air throughout the building improving workplace comfort and reducing energy costs.

Challenge

Before installing Airius Air Pear Fans, Rasmussen Mechanical Services struggled with severe temperature stratification, which led to an inefficient and uncomfortable work environment. The mezzanines were significantly hotter than the ground floor, creating unbalanced conditions throughout the facility. The HVAC system had to overwork to compensate, leading to higher energy costs and inconsistent airflow. Employees on the upper levels were frequently overheated, while those on the main floor remained cool, creating a workplace comfort disparity that affected productivity.

Solution & Installation

To resolve these challenges, Rasmussen Mechanical Services installed Airius Air Pear Fans, designed to eliminate temperature imbalances by continuously mixing and redistributing air throughout the facility. These fans move warm air from the ceiling down to the occupied workspace, reducing reliance on the HVAC system and improving overall air circulation. The installation process was straightforward and minimally disruptive to daily operations. Fans were strategically placed in key areas to optimize air movement and ensure even temperature distribution. Once in place, they immediately began working to maintain consistent airflow throughout the facility.

Results

Since the installation, temperature differences between floors have been significantly reduced, creating a more balanced and comfortable work environment. The HVAC system now runs more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and lowering operational costs. Employees on the mezzanines report greater thermal comfort, improving focus and productivity while eliminating overheating concerns.

“I haven’t had the fans long enough to track a full payback period, but as someone who has an office on the second-level mezzanine, I can say it is much more comfortable now.”

The installation of Airius Air Pear Fans at Rasmussen Mechanical Services has successfully addressed temperature stratification, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced overall workplace comfort. While long-term energy savings data is still being collected, the immediate impact on employee comfort has been undeniable.
