POWERFOIL D
But when you choose Big Ass Fans, you’re getting more
than award-winning products from the undisputed
industry leader, you’re becoming part of a team with all
the tools it takes to win.
THE AUTHORITY
ON BIG AIRFLOW
In industrial facilities, tackling hot, cold, humid, or dusty
conditions isn’t quite as easy as opening a window or
adjusting the thermostat. Fortunately, for those who do
business in large or unconditioned spaces, Big Ass Fans
innovated a cost-effective and energy-efficient comfort
solution in the form of high-volume, low-speed
(HVLS) fan technology.
An HVLS fan’s breeze across the skin makes people feel up POWERFOIL X3.0

FROM THE
GROUND UP
In our quest to understand big airflow better than
anyone, we invested in a 45,000-square-foot
(4,180-square-meter) research lab at our Kentucky
headquarters—the world’s first and only facility of
its kind specifically designed to test big fans.
Whether we’re creating prototypes, measuring air
coverage, or building new safety systems, the live
tests at this LEED Gold-certified R&D facility give
us real data for superior product development.
FINDING
COMFORT IN
SUPERIOR
SAFETY
Big Ass Fans’ status as the industry leader was
built on an uncompromising commitment to
safety. Our expert engineers develop the most
innovative and robust fan safety systems on the
market, including hub and airfoil retention
systems, fire suppression integration, and
mounts with no critical welds.
OVERHEAD FANS When conditions in industrial facilities border on the extreme due
to oppressive temperatures, surface condensation, or stagnant air,
workers need the right solutions to stay safe and productive.
Big Ass industrial overhead fans are designed with the size, power, and
efficiency to tackle these challenges head-on. Featuring multi-patented designs
and best-in-class safety features, our fans neutralize sweltering heat in summer,
equalize facility temperatures in winter, and offer air circulation and energy
savings that HVAC and traditional fan manufacturers can only dream of.

Air quality, temperature, and humidity can quickly become oppressive without
proper air movement in school classrooms, gyms, and cafeterias. During cooler
months, overuse of A/C for the purpose of air movement results in uncomfortably
cold conditions and high energy bills. That’s why educational facilities around the
world have turned to Big Ass Fans to improve the efficiency and sustainability of
their spaces and maintain the quiet, comfortable conditions students require
for learning.
