This journal states that ceiling fans are responsible for 5% of energy use in homes in the US. Also, because many of them aren't very efficient, they don't replace the use of air conditioning and other fans in the home. Making them more efficient will not only reduce the use of energy from ceiling fans but it will also reduce the use of energy from other cooling components. Making residents aware of this may inspire them to seek a more efficient ceiling fan for their home.
