Science of Destratification

Stratification is a result of an increasing air temperature gradient between the floor and ceiling in an enclosed area. When there is insufficient air movement, the hot air will rise to the ceiling, resulting in warmer temperatures there and cooler air temperatures at the working level near the floor.If stratification is present, the heating requirements of the facility are increased because the heating system is continually working to maintain the temperature at the occupant/thermostat level. Destratification pushes the air from the ceiling level down to the floor level, warming the cooler air at the working level, allowing you to turn the thermostat and reduce energy usage.

The difference in temperature between the floor and ceiling can be significant: 0.5F to 1F per foot, or more above 5 feet. For example, during the heating season, a space with a 30’ ceiling could have a temperature differential between the floor and ceiling of 12.5F to 25F, depending on variables such as outside temperature and building insulation.
