Ventilation in day nurseries: providing optimal summer comfort with our RE2020 ceiling fans

We install ceiling fans in many day nurseries:

• Day nurseries (notably in cities such as Lyon, Saint-Cloud, Montpellier, Villemomble… and Babilou nurseries in France)

Our different models for nursery ventilation:

• Our EXHALE ceiling fans provide a safe solution (no blades = no risk), discreet and easy to install in all types of buildings.
• The flush-mounted SAMARAT or IZYFAN ceiling fans (with ball joint) offer good air velocity, a competitive price, and easy integration in all configurations.

In addition, our mounting and usage accessories (extension rod, remote control) make installation increasingly simple.

Why prioritise gentle and natural ventilation in day nurseries?

High temperatures quickly generate discomfort that can affect children’s rest, health and even sensory development, as they are particularly sensitive to heat. Rather than relying on energy-intensive systems, some local authorities opt for an economic alternative and an environmentally friendly approach by choosing our ceiling fans. The resulting homogeneous air distribution helps reduce the feeling of stuffiness and ensures a comfortable indoor climate throughout the summer period.

Our approach aligns with recent recommendations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy efficiency. The trend is becoming increasingly clear year after year: equipping rooms with appropriate ventilation systems is now essential to ensure comfortable reception conditions, even during heatwaves that are now frequent in almost all regions of France.

The benefits of our RE2020 ceiling fans for new-build and renovated buildings

Our ceiling fans are designed to meet two key requirements: thermal efficiency and ease of installation. Their ultra-slim design and, for Exhale models, the absence of protruding blades make a real difference in environments frequented daily by young children and supervising staff.

Meeting regulatory standards while ensuring the highest possible level of comfort is not always easy. This is why we offer models that can be adapted to various ceiling heights, easy to integrate in both new-build projects and renovations, without major structural modifications. The quiet operation also prevents any noise disturbance during nap time or activities.

• Reduced perceived temperature through air speed (up to a 3°C perceived temperature reduction).
• Lower installation costs (uses existing electrical infrastructure).
• No structural work required on the building.
• Limited operating costs (low energy consumption).
• Effective all year round.
• Budget-friendly and easier to implement compared to other passive solutions.
• Can be combined with other cooling solutions.

Optimised air treatment for health and safety

In a shared space such as a day nursery, maintaining indoor air quality goes far beyond simple air movement. Our systems provide a gentle and consistent airflow that effectively complements air renewal systems, helping to limit the build-up of humidity and indoor pollutants. Children therefore benefit from an environment where perceived temperature is naturally reduced, without harsh draughts or localised cold zones.

We also place the utmost importance on safety: the absence of blades on our Exhale ceiling fans eliminates any risk of incidents during movement within the space.

Concrete economic benefits for facility managers and local authorities

Installing our ceiling fans in day nurseries significantly reduces energy costs associated with air conditioning. Electricity consumption remains low, helping to achieve long-term savings without compromising occupant comfort.

The flexibility offered by our solutions also simplifies budget planning. By maximising performance while minimising both capital investment and maintenance costs, it becomes possible to equip multiple rooms in a consistent and sustainable way. This approach primarily aims to reconcile budget constraints with high-quality care environments for all.

6. Accessories: Mounting rods & remote controls

• A wall-mounted remote control can operate up to 7 ceiling fans
• To enable easy pairing of wall-mounted remote controls, we strongly recommend equipping each room with a circuit breaker, fuse, switch, or a junction box dedicated to all the ceiling fans in that same room.
