13. Energy Efficient Use of Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely
heavily on the proper installation and use of the
ceiling fan . Here are a few tips to ensure quality and product
performance .
Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location. Ceiling
fans should be installed, or mounted, in the middle of the
room and at least 7 feet above the floor and 18 inches from

chill effect, making you "feel" cooler . Select a fan speed

the ceiling fan at low speed in the clockwise direction .
This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near
the ceiling down into the occupied space . Remember to

energy and dollar savings could be realized with this simple

not rooms . If the room is unoccupied, turn off the ceiling fan to
save energy .
