In the winter, I would sit at my desk freezing and then stand up and find it was 10 degrees warmer near my head. I assume the exact opposite would have happened in the summer. The office had just been renovated and the contractor stopped by one day to check things out. I talked to him about my office and he returned the next day with a new ceiling vent with a built in ceiling fan. It looked a lot like a small ceiling fan but it was air powered. The blades turned slowly when the system was blowing hot or cold air and did nothing the rest of the time. I was very skeptical of it as an effective solution, but it actually did the trick. It provided enough air circulation that the office was comfortable in all seasons. I have never seen another like it and just tried unsuccessfully to find one online, but maybe someone else will know the proper search terms.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Jim<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Aug 23, 2021, at 7:23 PM, Tim . <<a href="mailto:tims_datsun_stuff@outlook.com" class="">tims_datsun_stuff@outlook.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta charset="UTF-8" class=""><div style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">I think the noise will be the deal killer.
