Background: I live in Brisbane and love ceiling fans . So far I have found two different approaches to this problem: - bigger space = bigger ceiling fan - bigger space = more ceiling fans (http://www.yourhome.gov.au/passive-desi ... ve-cooling) At the moment I'm thinking to go with 4 ceiling fans (1 per 15m2). That would include one in the kitchen. Not sure whether that is a good idea. Looking for pros / cons of each approach. Thanks.
