Green Building Product HaikuĀ®, repeatedly recognized by ENERGY STARĀ® as the most energy-efficient ceiling fan, was recently named a BuildingGreen Top-10 Product for 2013. The 11th annual awards honored the most innovative green building developments at the U.S. Green Building Council’s 2012 Greenbuild Conference in San Francisco.

ā€œIn selecting this year’s products, we looked for companies addressing resilience, energy efficiency, thoughtful use of materials, cutting-edge system optimization and other needs,ā€ said GreenSpec executive editor Alex Wilson.

Handcrafted from five layers of sustainable Moso bamboo, Haiku brings a breath of fresh air in both design and comfort while exceeding ENERGY STAR efficiency requirements by 450-750%. Though most residential ceiling fans require 90-100 watts of electrical power input, Haiku runs on just 2-30 watts for a total cost of around $5 a year.
