                 Our commitment to sustainable, energy-efficient design means that
                 Big Ass fans can produce energy savings of up to 30 percent during

                 the summer and winter months. For residential and commercial
                 spaces, our fans provide relative cooling during the summer and fight
                 against destratification by keeping heat at the occupant level during
                 the winter. Residences see the benefit in their energy bills, since our

                 fans require little power to provide tremendous comfort. No fan better
                 demonstrates this than Haiku, our flagship residential fan. When in

                 Eco mode, Haiku is the world’s most energy-efficient fan.


                 It’s this commitment to energy-efficiency that drew the attention of
                 Maui Brewing Company. Since 2013 they’ve been using Big Ass fans

                 alongside other efforts such as solar power to reach their goal of 100%
                 sustainable manufacturing. Maui Brewing Co. CEO Garrett Marrero
                 says that the fans’ relative cooling and low energy consumption have

                 helped them achieve the ideal energy-efficient facility.


                 “Our Big Ass fans move air around the brewery, helping keep our

                 teammates  cool,”  said  Marrero. “Throughout  our  office and  retail
                 space we have many Haiku fans which have allowed us to keep those
                 areas cooler and set the AC temperatures a few degrees higher than

                 without.”


                 Marrero says that the higher AC set point at their brewery leads to a
                 decrease in electrical consumption and makes it possible for them to

                 maintain their sustainability goal.


                 “With our organization’s commitment to renewable energy—operating

                 primarily on solar energy and battery—we’re able to lead in sustainable
                 manufacturing.”
