Isis by Big Ass Fans

For more than a decade, the Big Ass Fan Company has developed innovative air movement solutions to enhance comfort and reduce operating costs in large industrial buildings. The 8- to 10-foot diameter Isis fan for commercial and institutional spaces was developed around that same paradigm. It incorporates the same durable strength, reliable construction and redundant safety features that define a Big Ass Fan. It produces similar benefits to its industrial predecessors, but its aesthetic design and silent operation meets the requirements of restaurants, schools, fitness centers, retail stores and other commercial spaces.

Powered by a gearless, direct drive prime mover, Isis produces less than 35 dBA at maximum operating speed (that’s quieter than an empty library!). This prime mover was designed from the ground up, is specifically for Big Ass Fans, and replaces the traditional induction motors and gearboxes used in industrial fans. 
 

The Isis fan’s patented airfoil and winglet design creates less drag than an ordinary ceiling fan, circulating an ocean of air without the aid of an overstrained motor. In addition to being silent, Isis is extremely powerful yet unparalleled for energy efficiency. In fact, just one 8-foot Isis covers more area than 9 small ceiling fans while using only one-third of the energy.

The overall result is a striking ceiling fan designed for indoor and outdoor spaces. In addition to its standard, anodized aluminum finish, Isis is available in a wide range of custom colors. Appearance packages enable Isis to blend in or make a bold statement in any setting. A hybrid of sleek design and performance, Isis carries a 10-year non-prorated warranty with certified installation.

The Big Ass Fan Company now offers a complete library of high quality, Building Information Modeling (BIM) objects. Visit http://www.bigassfans.com/architects_and_engineers to access these resources.
