Stand directly below the tips of the airfoils with hand outstretched. If you feel a draft, slightly decrease the fan speed (0.5). Repeat until
the draft is no longer noticeable.
Cooling season
The cooling effect created by the breeze from the Powerfoil8 fan keeps occupants comfortable with the thermostat at a higher setting.
During the cooling season, every degree higher that the thermostat is reset reduces the energy consumed by the air conditioner by
1.5–2%. To minimize energy usage during the cooling season, operate the fan only when building occupants are present.
Adjust the fan speed to the appropriate starting fan speed listed in the table below.

Increase the speed of the fan until desired air speed or maximum fan speed is reached. In air conditioned facilities, increase the
thermostat setting by 2–7°F to save energy.
