HVAC Fun Fact: Ceiling Fans Don’t Cool Rooms, They Cool People
It might surprise you, but ceiling fans don’t actually lower the temperature in a room. Instead, they create a wind-chill effect that helps your body feel cooler by moving air across your skin.
That means fans should be turned off when you leave the room, as they won’t cool an empty space, and you’ll save energy. Used correctly, ceiling fans can help you feel more comfortable and even allow you to raise your thermostat a few degrees without sacrificing comfort.
