【Interview】The Top Choice for Semi-Open Stadium Cooling! Lu Yen-hsun International Tennis Academy Introduces SUNON HVLS Energy-Saving Fans to Create an ESG Green Sports

Taiwan’s summers are hot and humid, making ventilation and heat dissipation in large, semi-open venues a major challenge. Founded by Taiwanese tennis legend Lu Yen-hsun and located at Aletheia University in Taipei, the “Lu Yen-hsun International Tennis Academy” is a cradle for nurturing Taiwan’s next generation of national tennis players.

To provide students with an international training environment and overcome the sweltering heat of the summer training grounds, the Academy specially introduced SUNON Industrial Portable Fans (HVLS Energy-Saving Fans). Utilizing high-efficiency, large-volume airflow convection technology, it successfully achieved comprehensive cooling for the semi-open court, showcasing a green transformation that integrates sports venues with sustainable ESG practices.

The Academy’s Pain Points: Scorching Heat and Humidity Create a Venue Cooling Bottleneck

Tennis is a sport that severely drains physical strength and concentration. To give students a training experience closest to international tournaments, the Lu Yen-hsun International Tennis Academy adopted a semi-open court design. However, Taiwan’s summer climate, which frequently breaks 35°C, causes heat buildup and stagnant air inside the venue. This not only accelerates player fatigue but can also compromise long-term training quality.

Traditional air conditioning systems in large semi-open spaces consume astronomical amounts of power, and the cool air escapes easily. What the Academy needed was a commercial ventilation solution that combined large area coverage, flexible mobility, and alignment with energy-saving and carbon-reduction principles.

 Solution: SUNON Industrial Portable HVLS Fan—3 Core Commercial Ventilation Advantages

Addressing the special requirements of large spaces and semi-open venues, the SUNON Industrial Portable Fans imported by the Tennis Academy perfectly solve the court’s heat dissipation pain points with the following technological advantages:

  1. 36-Meter Ultra-Long Airflow Thrust, Covering a Large Area Equivalent to 1/3 of a Football Field This fan features a 2-meter-high large blade design combined with aerodynamically engineered airfoils, allowing it to drive large-scale breeze circulation at extremely low rotational speeds. The airflow thrust range can reach up to 36 meters (equivalent to 1/3 the length of a football field), ensuring that a gentle natural breeze can be felt in every corner of the court, significantly enhancing thermal comfort.

  2. Equipped with High-Efficiency BLDC Motors to Implement a Green Sports Space (ESG) Implementing sustainable development is at the heart of modern venue management. SUNON Industrial Portable Fans are equipped with advanced BLDC energy-saving motors, which drastically reduce energy consumption compared to traditional motors. This helps the Academy reduce carbon emissions while upgrading the training environment, building a green sports space that meets ESG sustainability metrics.

  3. Convenient Mobility and High Flexibility for Easy Single-Person Deployment Court training zones are frequently adjusted in response to different tournament systems and courses. This large fan possesses excellent maneuverability and high flexibility, requiring only a single person to push and move it to designated areas easily, meeting the dynamic space scheduling needs of gymnasiums and semi-open courts.

Conclusion: Supporting the Tennis Dreams of National Players with Top-Tier Ventilation Technology

SUNON has always been committed to solving ventilation challenges across various industries with innovative energy-saving fan technology. This collaboration with the Lu Yen-hsun International Tennis Academy not only successfully improved the sweltering environment of the courts but also supported Taiwan’s rising tennis stars heading onto the international stage through concrete actions.
