FEEL THE DIFFERENCE
C A S E S T U D Y
With inconsistent and uncomfortable temperatures during the winter months, British Airways would experience temperature gradients of up to 10°C between the floor and mezzanine in their Hangar at Gatwick Airport, despite the elaborate heating system. In an effort to address working environments and sustainability, British Airways installed five 7.3m Powerfoil fans to increase their air circulation. During the winter months, the fans push the heat down creating a more consistent and comfortable working environment. However, the real benefit emerged after the first four months of winter operation. British Airways were able to cut energy consumption in Hangar 6 by over two million kilowatt hours, significantly reducing their carbon footprint and saving over $123,956 (£ 70,000) in the process.
