Yes, I would say so, based on the credit requirements as explained above. It would probably need to affect the air speed in the whole room, so it would have to be sized/designed properly.

Also, it depends on what is your heating and cooling strategy for the space. if ceiling fans is the only means of achieving thermal comfort, then ability to individually control them would be considered compliant. Hope that helps.
