[Greenbuilding] Speed of ceiling fan

[Sacie Lambertson]

John, honing in on that last bit regarding the fan moving at 200 mph over a
body, what is the  speed of a ceiling fan--at the low, middle and high
speed?  Just curious.

We use fans a whole lot in our open high ceiling house, both in the summer
and in the winter.  In the latter case, the ceiling fans seem to help
distribute heat from a stove source.  Last year when there was some
discussion on this list about the efficacy of this method of distribution, I
tried unsuccessfully to measure the effects.  Surely the greater warmth I
feel down below is not my imagination?

Thanks,  Sacie
