Big Ass Fans Launches its Low Profile Haiku 52 Ceiling Fan in Hong Kong

HONG KONG, May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Big Ass Fans (http://bit.ly/1zrjJ0t), the leading fan company in the United States, today introduced the Haiku 52 (52 inches or 1.3 meters in diameter) low profile ceiling fan to Hong Kong. The Haiku 52 is a great fit for smaller residential spaces in the local market.

Haiku ceiling fans are the perfect addition to every house

With its leading technologies, energy savings and minimalist design, Haiku 52 has received over 40 international awards:

• Equipped with a unique, ultra-efficient direct current (DC) motor using our proprietary Sensorless Drive Technology™, which guarantees quiet operation, the fan is rewarded as the Quietest Ceiling Fan in the World. It delivers nearly twice the efficiency of conventional ceiling fan motors. Haiku features seven speeds and a distinctive Whoosh mode, mimicking the gentle variations of a natural breeze to make you feel 40% cooler than steady airflow.
• Rated by Energy Star® as the world's most efficient ceiling fan, Haiku 52 is merely 2-30 watts and consumes 0.002-0.03kWh per hour, saving up to 80% electricity compared to conventional ceiling fans.
• Haiku 52 provides a modern, luxurious style with further improved comfort. The patent-pending Thin Sheet™ airfoils feature a unique aerodynamic profile, resulting in maximized air coverage and improved ventilation.     

Haiku 52 is handcrafted with two premium materials - sustainable Moso bamboo and a durable glass-infused matrix composite. The model comes in four colors. The most popular types in Hong Kong are the white matrix composite and caramel bamboo:

• Bamboo: Caramel bamboo and cocoa bamboo
• Matrix composite: white matrix composite and black matrix composite
• Diameter: 52 inches (1.3 meters)
• Height: 11.8 inches (0.3 meters)
• Suggested ceiling height: 8-10 feet (c.2.4-3 meters)
• Suggested space: over 140 square feet (c.13 square meters)

Air conditioning for commercial and residential buildings consumes over 60% of all electricity in the summer in Hong Kong. By applying fans in conditioned spaces, electricity bills can be reduced by 20% and circulation of cooling air in the space can be largely improved. Furthermore, World Wide Fund suggested that for every 1 degree Celsius raised in air conditioner thermostats, cooling bills can be lowered by approximately 6%. By increasing airflow, ceiling fans can improve sweat evaporation resulting in reduction of body temperature. Oftentimes with an operating Haiku fan, while the temperature setting of air conditioning is at 29 degrees Celsius, perceived temperature could drop to 24 degrees Celsius.
