A bar in Texas or a veranda in the tropics, scorching temperatures, and a fan spinning on the ceiling, with its pull chain and metal blades. A slightly kitschy vision of a device that is actually widely used in many countries around the world, especially in Southeast Asia, but also in the United States, where the usage rate exceeds 60%. In mainland France, ceiling fans are less common. Why?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very cultural,\u201d says Patrice Wolff, director of Turbobrise and treasurer of the French Association of Ceiling Fan Professionals (AFPVP). \u201cFor some people, there\u2019s a slightly outdated image of a low-quality fan that makes noise\u2026\u201d He adds: \u201cIn mainland France, we went from a situation where we had nothing, just opened the windows, to a spoiled-child situation where we jumped straight to air conditioning.\u201d \u201cAir conditioning was a social marker, while the fan, considered the \u2018poor man\u2019s AC,\u2019 looked pale in comparison,\u201d adds Claude Pichegru, manager of Guibb and secretary of the association.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;gcid-ca2d1729-4d73-4a3c-a1d4-90bb6d00c941&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#fb792b&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-ca2d1729-4d73-4a3c-a1d4-90bb6d00c941%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22%93}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>An overseas solution<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Has all of France turned away from ceiling fans? In the overseas territories, the reality is quite different: the usage rate ranges between 30 and 40%, according to the AFPVP. Indeed, the overseas departments are electrically non-interconnected zones, meaning they do not exchange electricity with the outside. The need to save energy is therefore even more important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe comeback of ceiling fans in Europe, and in France, has been largely driven by work done in the overseas departments and territories,\u201d recalls Robert C\u00e9laire, a bioclimatic engineer, who points to the role of \u201cair conditioning lobbies\u201d as one of the factors behind the low adoption of ceiling fans. He is co-author of a comprehensive guide on the subject, which details, among other things, the need to integrate the ceiling fan into a building fully designed to adapt to the climate. \u201cWe are in an energy alienation situation: buildings are poorly designed, so we are forced to push the heating button in winter and the air conditioning button in summer,\u201d he laments.<\/p>\n<p>For several years, he has been working with architects to develop bioclimatic constructions, equipped notably with ceiling fans along with shutters, for example, to limit sunlight. \u201cMany projects are set up with ceiling fans only, or in addition to air conditioning. In the new police headquarters in Cayenne, French Guiana, for example, some officers did not want air conditioning, so the offices are equipped with both systems,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;gcid-ca2d1729-4d73-4a3c-a1d4-90bb6d00c941&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#fb792b&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-ca2d1729-4d73-4a3c-a1d4-90bb6d00c941%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22%93}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>New standards<\/h2>\n<p>With the emergence of the concept of \u201csummer comfort,\u201d in response to the intensity and recurrence of heatwaves, ceiling fans are making a comeback. Their installation is encouraged by \u201cRE 2020,\u201d the new energy and environmental regulation that applies to all new constructions. And since December, \u201cfixed ceiling fans\u201d benefit from a reduced VAT rate of 5.5%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThings are moving, even if we are starting from far behind. We now equip many collective housing units, nursing homes, daycare centers, town halls, schools\u2026\u201d says Pierre Lacarri\u00e8re, president of the AFPVP. \u201cEveryone is looking for less energy-consuming solutions. The ceiling fan, alone or combined with air conditioning, can provide a solution.\u201d Along the Mediterranean arc or on the Perpignan\u2013Montpellier\u2013Nice axis, ceiling fans are increasingly found on the ceilings of apartments built by property developers.<\/p>\n<p>And the demand is now expanding to other areas, from Rennes to Lyon, including \u00cele-de-France, the Southwest, and the East, enumerates the association president. Moreover, the designs are adapting: vintage-style wooden blades, connected fans, featuring LEDs\u2026 An aesthetic aspect that helps make it \u201ca somewhat trendy tool, a cool and ecological alternative to air conditioning,\u201d emphasizes Robert C\u00e9laire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are rediscovering that riding a bike in the city instead of using a car is an obvious ecological choice. The ceiling fan is somewhat the same: it provides a service with a lower ecological, economic, and health cost, provided the building is adapted. But sometimes, it takes a long time for the obvious solution to catch on,\u201d the engineer notes.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=&#8221;40px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;gcid-ca2d1729-4d73-4a3c-a1d4-90bb6d00c941&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#fb792b&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-ca2d1729-4d73-4a3c-a1d4-90bb6d00c941%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22%93}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>Read the article on 20minutes.fr<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>You can find the article on the 20 Minutes website: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.20minutes.fr\/planete\/rechauffement-climatique\/4161496-20250702-canicule-pourquoi-plus-ventilateurs-plafond-france\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.20minutes.fr\/planete\/rechauffement-climatique\/4161496-20250702-canicule-pourquoi-plus-ventilateurs-plafond-france<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blowing air: The ceiling-mounted fan is used in many countries and in overseas territories.
