Broan Ultra Silent ™ ventilation fans that once worked independently now work
together as an integrated ventilation system in the Broan SmartSense ®
Intelligent Ventilation System. Because these fans ventilate from different
locations, you’re assured of ongoing fresh air distribution throughout the home.
Improve air quality throughout
the home—automatically and efficiently.
Why do I need to ventilate all day?
Proper ventilation exhausts stale indoor air and
minimizes opportunities for mold and mildew growth.
It also helps remove gases and particles not trapped
by any filtration unit. With Broan SmartSense,
® you
get an automatic ventilation solution that minimizes
the presence of pollutants such as household cleaners,
VOCs, carbon monoxide and off-gassing from building
materials, carpets and other furnishings.
How does it work?
The Broan SmartSense ® system continually monitors
and activates Broan Ultra Silent ™ fans day and night,
cycling them throughout the home to distribute fresh
air. Broan Ultra Silent
™ fans operate at a barely audible
0.3 and 0.7 sones, so they are ideal for any area of the
home that might require additional ventilation. Even in
a bedroom in the middle of the night, you’ll never know
they’re running.
Installs as easily as an exhaust fan.
Simply recess the fan housing in the ceiling, vent with
6" duct to the exterior of the home and connect the
power wires. No control wiring is necessary. After
installation, program the controls to match the size
of the home.
An economic alternative to other systems.
Broan SmartSense ® utilizes exhaust ventilation fans
normally installed in the home and automatically
adjusts the total run-time based on square footage
and number of bedrooms. Broan SmartSense
® controls
monitor normal manual fan operation, and adjust
ventilation time as needed to optimize energy usage.
Broan SmartSense
® is more cost effective and energy
efficient than other ventilation strategies such as
supply side systems that require the use of the home’s
air handler. Because only one fan is running at a time,
Broan SmartSense
® uses less than 40 watts during
ventilation cycles.
Broan SmartSense ® meets intermittent and
continuous ventilation requirements of ASHRAE*
62 and other related guidelines (including building
codes derived from the ASHRAE standard).
Broan SmartSense ® meets intermittent
and whole-building ventilation requirements
of green building programs such as
Leadership in Energy Efficient Design
(LEED), NAHB Green Building Guidelines
and ENERGY STAR Indoor Air Package.
