Kaizen Martial Arts Academy

Problem

Very little airflow and ran the A/C around the clock to the tune of $900 a month with little effect on comfort.

Solution

They installed a 16′ MacroAir HVLS fan to distribute the air.

Result

The comfort level is increased and cooling costs are reduced by $1,500 per year.

Before:

Kaizen Martial Arts Academy suffered from a classic case of a cavernous building due to the high ceilings with very little airflow. In the hot summer months, the 5,000 square foot facility felt less like a fitness center and more like a sweat lodge.

To compensate for the uncomfortable heat, owner Anthony Hanks had been running his A/C around the clock. This was costing around $900 a month, with little to no effect on the relative comfort level. Students were breaking a sweat even before they began their training regimen, and the heat distracted them from their focus and concentration.

• Large space with high ceilings and poor airflow
• Inefficient A/C system
• Uncomfortable students and complaints about temperature
• High cooling costs

After:

The installation of a 16-foot MacroAir HVLS fan mounted above the Kaizen Martial Arts Academy dojo created a large column of air that moved down and out across the floor, providing a refreshing, gentle breeze to the students below. Because the airflow actually accelerated the rate of perspiration evaporating from the skin, students didn’t complain about feeling damp and sticky. And Anthony saw a savings of $1,500 a year on his cooling costs.

• Installed 16-foot MacroAir HVLS fan
• Large columns of air increased comfort level
• Reduced cooling costs by $1,500 a year
