Breath of Fresh Air

Pet Camp’s ventilation system changes the air in the dog campsite 15 times an hour. 

After a year of research seeking the best, most energy efficient way to keep Pet Camp's indoor air quality continuously fresh, we settled on Big Ass Fans. Using only 58 watts, these slow-spinning giants move 68,000 cubic feet of air per minute, continually blending the air in the dog area and using less power than a 60 watt light bulb to do it!

These High Volume Low Speed or HVLS fans (as they're officially known) were originally designed for use in the dairy industry. We use them to circulate air to help prevent the spread of airborne germs. Today, Pet Camp is the only boarding facility that uses this technology.

We sincerely thank the San Francisco Community Power Cooperative for its assistance in funding the HVLS fans and for all of its support in energy conservation. We hope our successful use of these fans encourages other businesses to implement this energy saving technology.
