Finding a reliable sports hall cooling solution was essential for SCEGGS Darlinghurst, where excessive heat buildup in the multipurpose basketball hall created an uncomfortable environment for students and event attendees. With a concrete ceiling and tennis courts directly above, heat transfer caused persistent overheating, making traditional blade fans an impractical choice due to concerns over durability and aesthetics. Seeking an efficient and impact-resistant alternative, the school implemented Airius Model 60 destratification fans, which provided superior air circulation, cost savings, and enhanced thermal comfort, transforming the space into a more enjoyable and functional facility year-round.

“The Airius system has been in operation for six months now. We are more than happy with the results. The space is a lot more usable in the summer months. We have received great feedback from both the school PE department and also external hires. We are extremely happy with the performance and comfort we receive since installing these Airius fans and would happily recommend them to other organizations needing to circulate air and increase thermal comfort.”
