2. Ceiling fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceiling_fan

   Fans add a small amount of heat to the room mainly due to waste heat from the motor, and partially due to friction. Fans use significantly less power than air conditioning as cooling air is thermodynamically expensive. In the winter, fans move warmer air, which naturally rises, back down to occupants.

3. Room air distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_air_distribution

   Displacement ventilation systems supply air directly to the occupied zone.The air is supplied at low velocities to cause minimal induction and mixing. This system is used for ventilation and cooling of large high spaces, such as auditorium and atria, where energy may be saved if only the occupied zone is treated rather than trying to control the conditions in the entire space.

4. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

   A fan coil unit (FCU), also known as a Vertical Fan Coil Unit (VFCU), is a device consisting of a heat exchanger (coil) and a fan. FCUs are commonly used in HVAC systems of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings that use ducted split air conditioning or central plant cooling.

   An air handler typically refers to a unit that provides a fan to support either heating or cooling. radiant ceiling panels Usually metal panels suspended under the ceiling, insulated from the building structure. The primary cooling/heating agent temperature is close to the room's temperature. radiant floor

6. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)

   Typical room electrical fans consume 50 to 100 watts of power, while air-conditioning units use 500 to 4000 watts; fans use less electricity but do not cool the air, simply providing evaporative cooling of sweat. Commercial fans are louder than AC units and can be disruptively loud.

7. High-volume low-speed fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-volume_low-speed_fan

   A High-volume low-speed fan. A high-volume low-speed (HVLS) fan is a type of mechanical fan greater than 7 feet (2.1 m) in diameter. [1] HVLS fans are generally ceiling fans although some are pole mounted. HVLS fans move slowly and distribute large amounts of air at low rotational speed– hence the name "high volume, low speed."
