Airflow
Measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM), “airflow” means the amount of air a ceiling fan moves. The higher the number, the more air it moves.
The Environmental Protection Agency requires the following graphic to be posted on ceiling fan boxes, brochures, etc. You can use it to gauge air flow efficiency.

Ceiling Fan Efficiency
Three is the New Four
In the past, the number of fan blades (four, five, or six) used to translate to a more efficient ceiling fan. However, that’s no longer the case! There are new fan models that can perform just as well with a smaller number of blades.
Look for Energy Star Labels
Finally: Fan Motors
Mounting Options:
There are also options for installing ceiling fans in sloped ceilings by using a sloped ceiling kit or sloped ceiling adaptor!
