Big Ass Fans SpecLab® | Airflow Modelling & Fan Design

See Airflow Before You Buy

SpecLab® is Big Ass Fans’ advanced airflow modelling service, designed to show how a fan solution will perform in your actual space before equipment is selected or installed.

Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the Big Ass Fans engineering team creates a digital model of your facility and simulates airflow based on its dimensions, layout and operating conditions. This helps identify the most effective fan type, size, quantity and placement for your project.

Whether you are planning a warehouse, production area, aircraft hangar, gymnasium, logistics facility, retail space or large hospitality venue, SpecLab provides a practical, evidence-based way to design for comfort, air movement and operational efficiency.

What SpecLab Can Assess

Facility dimensions, ceiling heights and structural conditions
Fan location, mounting height and coverage area
Airflow around racking, machinery, partitions and workstations
High-heat, low-airflow and difficult-to-reach areas
Cooling effect and occupant comfort across the space
Seasonal destratification potential for improved heating efficiency
Recommended Big Ass Fans models, quantities and placement

A Clearer Basis for Fan Selection

Standard coverage charts are useful for an initial estimate, but they cannot fully account for the way air moves through a real building. Obstacles, racking, walls, production equipment, doors and ceiling geometry can all affect performance.

SpecLab provides a visual simulation and project-specific recommendation, helping project teams make confident decisions before committing to equipment, installation and electrical works.

Ideal for Complex Commercial and Industrial Projects

SpecLab is particularly valuable for projects where performance matters and fan placement cannot be left to guesswork, including:

Warehouses and distribution centres
Manufacturing and production facilities
Sports halls, gyms and multipurpose venues
Aircraft hangars and workshops
Retail and public spaces
Agricultural and livestock facilities
Hospitality, event and entertainment venues
Large open-plan commercial spaces
