We worked closely with the architects and designers to really understand what the requirements were. We looked at things like window placement, building shape and position, because they all play a role when designing for thermal comfort. To ensure our solutions would work, we used software models to look at how the fans affected ventilation and the overall cooling effect within the building. In a time where the global temperature is rising and people - particularly in large public or commercial
spaces - rely more and more on air conditioning to maintain thermal comfort, fans are a great solution. Industrial size fans can move significant air volumes quickly, silently, and more importantly, without using a significant amount of energy. They added both functional and aesthetic value to HMAS Platypus, as they will do for any space
