- HVLS fan has the capacity to circulate air up to 20 metres
- These fans use 810 watts of electricity
- This help in saving 80% of electricity

“Prior to these fans, we had installed one HVLS fan on an experimental basis. This helped us in saving electricity and commuters also praised the attempt. And so we replaced all old 24 old fans with four HVLS fans for better air circulation and to save the electricity,” said Narendra Patil, CPRO.
