Macroair-ecospecifier
MacroAirtm Fans have now been assessed by ecospecifiertm for the energy saving and environmental advantages of the product range. The fans have been assessed against alternative ventilation and cooling options and were found to compare very favourably. This independent assessment supports the manufacturers claims for the efficiency and effectiveness of HVLS (High Volume Low Speed) fans.
Going even further, the fans have been pre-assessed for credits under the Green Building Council of Australia Green Startm rating system.

ASSESSMENT COMPARISON
Standard sized exhaust fans and HVAC systems
Ene-1: Energy Efficiency
Product is likely to assist in a project obtaining the conditional requirement for the design of a base building that achieves a predicted rating of 4 stars or greater using the Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR) scheme’s Validation Protocol for Tenancy Energy Estimation Version 2005-02.
Ene-2: Energy Improvements
Product is likely to assist obtaining credits for improvement in the overall energy efficiency of a project. Credit points achieved are determined by the star rating achieved above the conditional 4 star Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR). Product contribution to credit points is determined by project energy load simulation and needs to be included in the model to provide beneficial credits.
Ene: Conditional
Product is likely to assist in a project obtaining the conditional requirement for the design of a base building in which the project’s greenhouse gas emissions do not exceed 110 kgCO2/m2/annum as determined using the Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR) Validation Protocol for Computer Simulations or by using the final and current version of the Green Star™ Energy Calculator.
Ene-1: Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Product is likely to assist in obtaining credits for minimising the greenhouse gas emissions of a project. Credit points achieved are determined by determining the reduction in predicted greenhouse gas emissions below the Conditional Requirement of 110 kgCO2/m2/annum. Full points are available for carbon-neutral base buildings.
