Product Spotlight: Panasonic WhisperGreen Ventilation Fans
With today’s tighter building envelopes, it is imperative that builders and contractors stay up to date on industry standards for ventilation systems in order to ensure good air quality inside the home. Longer duct runs and multiple elbows increase static pressure, which can reduce airflow. ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) has set the industry standard for ventilation performance measurement at 0.25" water gauge for airflow. To meet this standard, Panasonic Home & Environment Company has introduced its third-generation WhisperGreen® line of premium ventilation fans.
The 13 new ceiling-mounted fans feature Panasonic’s SmartFlow Optimum CFM Technology, which detects and compensates for additional static pressure and increases airflow to reach the specified output. The ENERGY STAR-rated WhisperGreen fans, designed for both 4" and 6" ducts, offer installation flexibility and performance under pressure. They are also powered by an energy-saving DC motor.
