They can help you feel more comfortable at higher temperatures. It is best to turn the fan off when you leave the room since the fan does its job by cooling you — not the room.

Take a walk next door and sip on theirs. Cool; without greenhouse gasses and power bills.

Well done Jerome.

Have a few cool rooms and use fans in the other rooms. Instead of relying solely on technology, just adjust the typical users’ attitude and actions. Do I really need the upstairs bathroom to be 72deg. in summer when no one is going up there anyway?

on the other hand, why not use hand fans instead of ceiling fans?
