Scott Canby, project manager for Avedon's sister company Airius LLC, said without the Airius system a building with 30-foot ceilings may have a 20-degree temperature difference between the floor and ceiling.
With the system, the temperature at the floor and ceiling can be just one or two degrees different.By equalizing the temperature, companies can turn their thermostats up in the summer or down in the winter and have a comfortable work environment.
According to Canby, the Department of Energy states that for every degree you lower the thermostat, you achieve a 3 percent energy savings.

Canby sees a huge market for Airius.
"Every building over 10 feet has the potential to be a customer," he said.

Canby said customers see returns on their investment in about two years or less, and are seeing energy savings of between 25 and 45 percent.
According to Canby, Airius has installed about 5,000 units and achieved roughly $2 million in sales so far.
