WHEN YOUR HOME BREATHES, YOU BREATHE EASIER TOO.

WHY INDOOR AIR QUALITY IS IMPORTANT TO YOU.

Consider this, according to the EPA (epa.gov), indoor air quality is five times worse than outdoor
air quality. Most homeowners know that indoor air quality is important, but not all recognize what
contributes to poor indoor air quality, the potential effects and harm, and how to address these
problems. Broan is here to help. For more than 85 years, Broan has led the industry with residential
ventilation solutions that improve indoor air quality and provide healthier home environments.

Moisture that is not

properly ventilated can cause
mildew and mold formation,
which can potentially lead to
structural problems and health
problems. Exhaust ventilation
solutions from Broan remove
humidity at the source to help
maintain the optimal humidity
balance of 40 to 60 percent.

Off-gassing from

construction materials,
carpeting, adhesives and
synthetic materials—as well
as solvents from common
household cleaners—can
accumulate in tightly built
homes. Look to Broan
for continuous ventilation
solutions that meet
ASHRAE 62.2.

Particulate from dust,

allergens, pet dander, and
more can contribute to poor
indoor air quality up to 100
times dirtier than outside air.
With a properly ventilated
home, you create a more
enjoyable, comfortable and
healthier environment.

Cooking effluents

from food preparation can
infiltrate the whole house
in minutes. Grease, oils and
aromas settle permanently
into carpets, furniture, clothing
and other surfaces. Kitchen
ventilation solutions help
eliminate cooking effluents
for a cleaner, more comfortable
and healthier environment.

The Broan Captur™ Ventilation System
ensures unsurpassed performance.

When we set out to improve every aspect of
under-cabinet kitchen ventilation, removing heat, smoke
and moisture was key. After all, according to the EPA, the
kitchen is one of the primary sources of indoor air quality
problems—capturing and removing cooking effluents
at the source is critical. So we looked at everything,
inside and out. The blower wheel and motor assembly
are designed to move more air with greater efficiency,
unique filters capture effectively without restricting
airflow, and new hood shapes provide effective coverage
over all burners. All of which mean better performance,
quieter operation and less energy use.

The Broan Captur™
system, a combination of
blower design, air flow
management, efficient
filtration and advanced
testing capabilities provides
the fastest smoke and odor
removal in its class.
