Do I need ceiling fans if I have an HRV?

S McIntyre April 2, 2019Last updated: Sept. 4, 2020

我有很高的天花板，今年夏天我将增加一个正常高度的天花板和一个新的楼梯井到地下室。我是否应该在天花板比较高的旧的部分安排一个吊扇，还是说HRV连接整个部分是多余的?

If it were me I'd want aceiling fanin the older portion of the home as well, certainly if it can be done during other renovations without great effort. AnHRVdoes not provide the same amount ofcirculationas a ceiling fan does, and without one, warm air will still collect up high; and in the summer a ceiling fan is a quiet and efficient way to provide a cooling sensation.Here is a short video on ceiling fans, they are an integral part of the heating and cooling strategy of ourEdelweiss demonstration house.
