chemical energy -> kinetic energy
Basically the fat (energy) stored by the human is used to generate the fanning movement.

A fan typically uses electrical energy as its source of power. The electricity is converted into mechanical energy that drives the blades of the fan to produce air movement.
An electric fan uses electrical energy to operate. The electricity powers the motor inside the fan, which rotates the blades to create airflow.
Mechanical energy is produced from the rotation of the fan blades as they move the air. Additionally, there may be some heat energy generated as a result of friction and resistance within the fan motor.
If the air is moving, then it has kinetic energy. If the fan is running, then the blade has kinetic energy. Maybe that's where the moving air got its kinetic energy from. If the dog is also walking through the room, then the dog has kinetic energy too, but he probably didn't get his kinetic energy from the fan or the air. On the other hand, a piece of tissue floating through the room could very well have gotten its kinetic energy from the fan, but that kinetic energy had to be carried from the fan to the tissue by the moving air.
A ceiling fan converts electrical energy into mechanical energy through the use of an electric motor. The electricity powers the motor, which causes the fan blades to turn and move air. This mechanical energy produces airflow, creating the cooling effect in the room.
