Tight construction keeps the elements out—and airborne pollutants in

Premium Ventilation Helps Reduce Airborne Pollutants

Today's homes are built tightly for energy efficency. But what’s good for heating and air-conditioning bills means unwanted and unhealthy pollutants stay trapped inside unless they are mechanically vented away.

Excess humidity, for example, can cause damaging and unhealthy mold growth. Other pollutants* include pollen and volatile organic compuonds (VOCs) which off-gas from building materials or exist in products we use every day such as cosmetics and cleaning chemicals.

Intermittent and continuous ventilation.

Intermittent or “spot” ventilation focuses on removing contaminants from a specific area at a specific time, such as running a bath fan during a shower. Continuous, whole-house ventilation is becoming increasingly popular and continually removes contaminants generated in our homes every day.

Continuous ventilation—also known as whole-house ventilation—is being required to meet building codes, or green building standards such as LEED or ENERGY STAR® for Homes. 

ULTRA™ Series Ventilation Fans. The solution for spot and continuous ventilation needs.

Our exclusive ULTRA Smart™ Control Technology enables these fans to maintain their powerful operation even at high static pressures, and supply the required air movement levels for whole-house ventilation while meeting the spot ventilation needs of a bathroom. Available in multi-speed versions, the continuous lower CFM levels of ULTRA™ Series Ventilation Fans can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of each home.

Since whole-house fans may run at all times, quiet operation is extremely important. The last thing that anybody wants is to be kept awake by a loud fan. 

Choosing an ENERGY STAR® qualifi ed fan is always a good idea, but it is even more important for whole-house fans that may run all the time. ULTRA™ Series Ventilation Fans with ULTRA Green™ DC Motor Technology meet ENERGY STAR® CFM-per-watt requirements and in some cases are nearly 10 times more efficient.
