Don\u2019t Let Hybrid Cooling Backfire<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

Hybrid cooling is quickly becoming the go-to solution for commercial spaces in Singapore. By pairing HVLS fans with air conditioning, businesses can achieve improved comfort, energy savings, and better airflow.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, like any technology, hybrid cooling only delivers its full benefits when implemented correctly. Poor planning, incorrect installation, or misuse can reduce energy efficiency, create hot spots, or increase costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this guide, we explore common mistakes businesses make with hybrid cooling and how to avoid them, ensuring your office, gym, retail store, or co-working space stays cool, comfortable, and cost-effective.

Mistake 1: Overlooking Space Layout and Ceiling Height<\/b><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/bigassfans.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/10\/i6_gallery_cf10.jpg” alt=”An i6 fan installed in a retail store” title_text=”i6_gallery_cf10″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

Not all spaces are created equal. Open-plan offices, warehouses, gyms, and retail stores have different ceiling heights, room volumes, and layouts. Installing fans without considering these factors can result in uneven airflow, hot spots, or areas where AC efficiency is reduced.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip:<\/b> Conduct a professional assessment of your space. Proper fan placement, rotation speed, and orientation ensure maximum airflow and consistent comfort across the entire area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mistake\u202f2: Relying too much on AC alone<\/b><\/h2>\n


<\/b>A frequent mistake in commercial cooling setups is treating the approach as simply \u201ccommercial fans\u202f+\u202fAC\u201d, but keeping the AC set\u2011up exactly the same as before. Many businesses keep air\u2011conditioning units at the same temperature and operation mode, which significantly limits the energy savings and performance gains of a true hybrid cooling system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip:<\/b> Integrate your commercial fans with the AC system for a coordinated approach. High\u2011volume low\u2011speed (HVLS) fans or large commercial ceiling fans circulate air effectively throughout the space, allowing you to raise the AC set\u2011point (for example, closer to the Go\u202f25 target of ~25\u202f\u00b0C) while still maintaining occupant comfort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The newly published TR\u202f141:2025 technical reference provides guidance for selection, layout, controls and maintenance of hybrid cooling systems, combining large\u2011fan airflow with air\u2011conditioning systems in commercial buildings. The Go\u202f25 movement further supports this approach by encouraging indoor spaces to adopt higher AC temperature set\u2011points and use complementary solutions such as fans to sustain comfort.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

By using your commercial fans strategically, you can:<\/span><\/p>\n
