Education

We equip a large number of educational establishments:

• Crèches (notably the city of Lyon).
• Nursery schools & dormitories (particularly in Ile de France, Bayonne, Pau…)
• Primary schools (including Marseille, Montpellier, Toulouse, Var, Alpes Maritimes…)
• Colleges & lycées (including the town of Orange, the Grenoble region, the Lyon region, Tarbes, Paris, Chateauroux).
• IUT, Universities (notably Lille & Bordeaux), public schools (INP, ENSAM).

It should be noted that summer discomfort, which has extended from May to October as a result of global warming, is not limited to the Mediterranean Arc, but covers almost the entire country.
Our EXHALE ceiling fans provide a risk-free solution (no blades = no risk) that is discreet and easy to install in all types of building.
SAMARAT or IZYFAN flush ceiling fans (with ball-and-socket joint) provide good air speed, low cost and easy integration into any configuration.
What’s more, our installation and user accessories (extendable rod, remote control) make installation easier and simpler.

Summer comfort in educational establishments: ceiling fans to the rescue?

1. What is the context?

• Hot periods are becoming more frequent and longer during the year when the students are present (from May to mid-July & from early September to late October.
• Educational buildings designed after the Second World War are no longer suitable, creating thermal discomfort (large windows, poor insulation, little solar protection, rarely optimised orientation).
• Thermal discomfort = deterioration in learning conditions.
• Active solutions, such as air conditioning, are generally outlawed to improve summer comfort because they are too energy-intensive and too expensive.
• Passive solutions do exist and are effective (high-performance brise-soleils or selective glazing), but they require work on the building and are relatively expensive.
• Pilot Project with the City of Toulon, France

2. Ceiling fans: an operational solution for both new buildings and refurbishments

• Perceived temperature gain in m/s (with a maximum of 3° of perceived temperature).
• Lower installation costs (uses existing electrical installation).
• No work on the structure of the building.
• Low operating costs (low energy consumption).
• Effective all year round.
• Limited budget and easier to install than other passive solutions.
• Coupling with other cooling solutions.

6. Accessories: fixing rods and remote controls

• One wall-mounted remote control can control up to 7 fans
• To enable easy pairing of wall-mounted remote controls, we strongly suggest that each room is equipped with a circuit breaker, a fuse, a switch or a dedicated junction box for all the ceiling fans in that room.
