With the invasion of mosquitoes in certain regions of France and the overseas territories, many people wonder if a simple ceiling fan can really provide effective protection against these pests. For some, the idea may seem far-fetched or just too easy to be true. Yet...

In May 2025, the planet's CO2 watchdog, the Mauna Loa volcano observatory in Hawaii[i], delivered its verdict: carbon dioxide levels had reached 428 particles per million (ppm). This value does not correspond to an exceptional episode, but rather to a steady increase,...

In the industrial sector, maintaining an optimal working environment is essential. It is worth considering industrial fans to understand why their adoption can transform daily operations in a company. Beyond simply cooling a space, these devices offer a multitude of...

Taking account of the 2003 regulations, which are still in force, has become an important issue for designers. That’s why this article covers both the fundamentals of acoustics and the practical aspects of implementing the official texts.

In mainland France, particularly but not exclusively in the Mediterranean area, the penetration rate of ceiling fans is low, while air conditioning is developing very rapidly in the residential sector, following strong penetration in the tertiary sector.
Ceiling fans are still a very underdeveloped technology in these areas, even though they are even more relevant than in the French overseas departments, since they can replace air conditioning altogether, always in conjunction with a bioclimatic approach.

In France, the kWh is billed at around 25 cents, compared with 15 cents ten years ago. The outlook is for a continuation of this trend, with a recent sharp rise in the cost of electricity.
Saving energy, and electricity in particular, is therefore becoming a real concern in both the residential and commercial sectors.

Now that the Samarat is fitted with a thermostat and can be controlled by a BMS, the two most advanced modes are available for professionals wishing to install ceiling fans.
What are the benefits of these control modes in the context of the RE2020 calculation? That’s what we’ll explain in the rest of this article.

It wasn’t until January 2022, with the entry into force of the 2020 environmental regulations (RE 2020), which apply to new buildings, that a new indicator was introduced: the degree-hour of discomfort or DH. With this new value, ceiling fans are included in the regulations.
The new Energy Performance Diagnostic, which comes into force on 1 July 2021, opens the door wide to summer comfort.

Ceilings in tropical and equatorial zones are gradually being fitted with ceiling fans. But temperate zones continue to prefer air conditioning for a long time to come.

The increased emphasis on summer comfort in RE2020 means that ceiling fans are now one of the most common solutions for homes and commercial premises.
However, identifying the right equipment to satisfy both designers and users can be both tedious and tricky. We therefore propose to review the key parameters for making the right choice when it comes to ceiling fans.

The arrival of the ceiling fan in RE2020 has prompted several home builders to ask us about the noise levels to be achieved under the label.

In order to facilitate the data entering of ceiling fans into design software, we have created detailed assistance documents for professionnals.
