Investing in indoor air quality solutions is the most effective action contractors can take to support getting back to normal.
Cleaning the air that travels through your HVAC systems is an excellent first step; however, this does not effectively address shared air inside each occupied room. Instead, contractors can look for solutions that rapidly turn over the total air volume inside each room, like the Haiku UV-C Fan.
Healthcare facilities worldwide have been using ultraviolet light as a disinfectant for years. Now, Big Ass Fans introduces you the Haiku UV-C Ceiling Fan, which allows end-users to cool and clean the air in residential and commercial buildings with ease. The UV-C light fixture is designed to kill 99.99% of common airborne viruses, allergens, bacteria, and more. The Haiku UV-C is not only a powerful air cleaner, but it’ll also leave the occupants feeling comfortable by reducing room temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Haiku line of smart, app-enabled residential ceiling fans leads the way for innovative products that tip their hats to #destratification. Not only do they clean and cool rooms, but they also earn points for providing buildings with a path towards #netzero efforts.
Earlier this year, Big Ass Fans rolled out a new “uplight” accessory for those Haiku models that cast decorative light up onto the ceiling. Then, when the pandemic hit, the company thought back to 2011, when it teamed with an architecture firm to equip a hospital in Rwanda with ceiling fans to help improve the efficacy of wall-mounted UV sanitizers used to kill pathogens like tuberculosis.
“Seamlessly integrated atop the fan, Haiku’s UVC fixture directs invisible light upward, killing up to 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, mold, and other harmful airborne agents that pass through the disinfection zone,” the company promises. “Haiku’s powerful air mixing improves circulation within the space, bringing more pathogens into the disinfection zone and halting the spread of disease.”
Not only is this a factual claim, but the science is sound. UV light from the sun is the environment’s primary germicide, something scientists documented as early as 1877. Hospitals have harnessed that power for years, with special UV lamps and wands used to sterilize rooms and equipment. This year, airlines, cruise ships, and other businesses have begun using various UV systems to sanitize common spaces.

UV-C Fan Technology
Designed with comfort and health in mind, the Big Ass Fans Indoor Ceiling Fan is a clean air system that creates a disinfection zone above the light fixture. The fan circulates air through the space and emits UV-C light which kills 99.99% of common airborne irritants and neutralizes odors. After cleaning the air above the fan, clean air is then returned to the room occupants.
Independently accredited lab results from Innovative BioAnalysis show the Haiku UV-C offers greater than 99.99% deactivation of SARS-CoV-2. These labs verify the reduction of SARS-CoV-2 (virus that causes COVID-19) and other indoor pathogens. The Haiku UV-C delivers cleaner, healthier air directly where you’re breathing.
Smart Indoor Comfort
These cutting-edge devices have built-in sensors that monitor temperature and humidity within a space and automatically adjust to keep occupants comfortable and reduce energy costs by up to 30 percent.
Control and monitor the Wi-Fi-enabled Big Ass Fans Haiku UV-C from anywhere when you download the Haiku mobile app (iTunes, Google Play). Connect the Haiku fan to Amazon Alexa or Google Home for voice-activated control in the building space. Once connected, you can adjust the fan speed light brightness, create schedules and more.
Use SenseMe features to set preferences for user-friendly operation and let the fan automatically achieve them. After the initial setup, you’ll never lift another finger again.

For on-the-spot control, Haiku includes a premium Infrared remote control.
