Air Moving at Slow Speed Provides Maximum Comfort
A Holland Institute study finds large volumes of air at low velocity offer better cooling than small amounts at high speed. The vaporaire system circulates air moderately in summer, moving three to four times as much air through rooms as typical winter heating. Moderately warmed air in winter yields uniform temperatures and supports the respiratory system, while excessive heat dries nasal and throat membranes and can lead to colds.
