  • Solar Star Conversion Kit
  • REPLACEMENT CONTRACTOR Magazine (2/24/2008)
  • The solar-powered Solar Star Conversion kit boosts the performance of existing passive attic vents and transforms noisy, powered vents into quiet, efficient units. The Solar Star ventilator uses a 10-watt proprietary photovoltaic solar panel with a brushless motor and five-wing injection-molded fan. The fan works continually to maintain temperature levels and low humidity in the attic. Run by the sun, no electrical hookup is needed; the fan operates at no cost, and savings on heating and cooling bills offer a fast return on investment. 886.765.2882..
  • PanasonicWhisperComfort Ventilation Fan
  • REMODELING Magazine (2/24/2008)
  • Improve energy efficiency and homeowner health with the WhisperComfort fan, a new spot energy recovery ventilator (ERV) and the first ceiling-insert ERV available in the U.S. Using two ducts, the fan exhausts stale air and brings in fresh air from outside. Its low-rate continuous run helps ensure that VOCs and other indoor air pollutants are vented out and replaced with fresh air. The fan's capillary core adds heat and moisture to the incoming air to temper it and maintain a comfortable indoor living environment. 800.211.7262.
  • Turbine VentEmpire Ventilation Equipment Company's "Green" Turbine Vents
  • ebuild (11/20/2007)
  • Today's customers are more concerned than ever before with buying products that are environmentally sound and affordable. But long before the need for "green" technology was defined, turbine vents were being made and sold, and consumers were ahead of the game - saving money and being ecologically responsible. These ventilators are energy efficient. They're wind and convection driven, requiring no man-made fuel at all. In addition to functionality, designers find them appealing because they can be made in stainless steel, aluminum, galvanized and copper.
