  • Fan Light
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (9/7/2007)
  • Designed to ventilate a medium-sized bathroom, this fan light provides 70 cfm at 4.0 sones and is UL listed to be installed over a tub or shower on a GFCI. The unit has a round, oil-rubbed bronze finish and a frosted, ribbed glass lens. 800-684-9975.
  • Integrated Ventilation System
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (9/7/2007)
  • The manufacturer has combined its humidity-sensing technology with its ultra-silent fans to create an integrated ventilation system. Once there is a rapid rise in humidity within the room, the fan, operating at 0.3 and 0.9 sone, will automatically turn on to exhaust excess moisture and turn off when it's finished, the maker says. 800-558-1711.
  • The WhisperGreen Fan
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (9/7/2007)
  • The WhisperGreen fan features a variable-speed control that allows the fan to run continuously at 30 to 70 cfm, and it can run at 80 cfm when switched on or activated by an integrated motion sensor.

One 200-cfm VS-6 Ventergy fan can ventilate up to eight bathrooms and can run the 200-cfm rate in a single room, the maker says. 800-255-7749.
  • Ulta-Silent FanFresh Air
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (9/6/2007)
  • Like most pros, Chris Folk knows the bathroom is a breeding ground for callbacks."One of the biggest problems we have is humidity," says Folk, owner of Evans Coghill Homes in Charlotte, N.C. If builders don't install bath fans that effectively remove humidity, mold or mildew could form, he says. However, if a fan is noisy, the homeowner is less likely to turn it on or leave it on for the proper amount of time. (The Home Ventilating Institute recommends that fans be left on for at least 20 minutes after showering.) Meanwhile, some "people won't turn them on because if they leave the room they'll forget it and it'll run all day," says Jim Barrett, senior vice president of marketing for Hunter Fans.
