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 80 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.

BROAN CAN IMPROVE INDOOR AIR QUALITY
IN EVERY ROOM OF THE HOME.
From clearing humidity in the bathroom to removing heat, steam and airborne effluents in the kitchen.
From whole-house HEPA air filtration and balanced fresh air exchange solutions to attic ventilation.
From the family room to the master bedroom and in every room in between, no company knows
residential and light commercial ventilation like Broan. After more than 80 years, countless innovations
and a commitment to indoor air quality, trust Broan to clear up every concern.
EXHAUST VENTILATION
removes excess moisture and
odor from any room in the home,
and can also provide continuous,
whole-house ventilation.
DID YOU KNOW?
*
KITCHEN VENTILATION
expels cooking effluents from food
preparation to eliminate airborne
pollutants from spreading through
the entire house.
Knowing the facts goes a long way
toward a healthier indoor environment:
Just 46%
recognize not having
a bathroom fan has a
negative impact on indoor
air quality—only 42%
recognize that a lack of
a range hood also has a
negative impact.
60%
have a fan in each
bathroom but only one
in five let it run for 10
minutes after showering.
FRESH AIR SYSTEMS
efficiently exchanges inside
air with fresh outside air, and
removes airborne particulate
with HEPA filtration.
Some homeowners don't recognize
the causes of poor indoor air quality:
Only 42%
are concerned about
moisture that causes
mold or mildew.
33%
Only
know food aromas
after preparation is an
indicator of poor IAQ.
Most homeowners are tuned in to
residential Indoor Air Quality concerns:
60%
know that indoor air
quality has a greater
impact on their health
than outdoor air quality.
90%
realize poor indoor air
quality contributes to
certain health issues and
that healthy air helps
prevent illness.
81%
don’t know that
a foggy mirror
means poor IAQ.

Every kitchen needs ventilation.
HERE’S WHY.
The fact is, the kitchen is a primary source of poor indoor air quality.
Excessive moisture, smoke, and air-borne particulate quickly infiltrates
every room in your home. Indoor air can be up to 100 times more
polluted than outside air, which means adequate ventilation is critical to
a more comfortable and healthier environment. Broan has performance
matched ventilation solutions for every cooking style and the type of
appliance beneath it. Whether it’s a focal point in your kitchen, or
concealed in custom cabinetry, trust Broan—the leader in residential
ventilation—to provide the optimal solution.

BROAN RANGE HOODS.
The best solution for faster smoke and odor removal.
A microwave oven has its purpose.
And so does a range hood.
While it may seem like you’re tackling two problems with one
appliance, there’s always give and take. The ventilating
capability of an over-the-range microwave simply doesn’t
compare to Broan kitchen ventilation. The purposeful design
of Broan range hoods allows faster, more effective removal of
smoke and odors for improved indoor air quality, and a
cleaner kitchen.
Shadowgraph imagery confirms how heat, steam and
cooking effluents spill past the edges of an over-the-range
microwave ventilation system versus the superior capture of
the Broan range hood.
Convenience versus safety.
An over-the-range microwave
can be a dangerous location for
young users, and even for adults.
Shown: Sahale range hood featuring the Captur™
system with three pots boiling, versus a microwave
with two pots boiling.
For faster smoke and odor removal.

THE RIGHT RANGE HOOD
and accessories for your cooking style,
sense of style and installation needs.
Chimney Hoods
Do you have an open-concept kitchen? Consider a
chimney style range hood to create a stunning focal point.
Choose wall-mounted designs or a suspended range hood
over an island cooktop. Be sure the blower you select
matches the BTU output of your range.
High Performance Hoods
Looking for convenience in a high performance
range hood?Style, power and modern convenience are
possible with high-performance hoods. Highly effective
filtration and stainless steel bottoms make cleaning easy.
Just match your blower to the BTU output of your range.
Under Cabinet Hoods
In need of power while preserving cabinet space?
The under cabinet range hood is the most popular type.
You’ll also find great styles in appliance-matching finishes,
different performance levels and attractive price points.
Broan range hoods can be used
to comply with California Title 24.
6
Power Packs
Thinking of designing custom cabinetry? Power packs
allow you to conceal your range hood inside a cabinet for a
clean look. Insert a power pack and achieve all the benefits
of great ventilation.
Built-in Ventilation
Looking for a range hood that’s there when you
need it and hidden when you don’t? Downdraft range
hoods are perfect for island or peninsula installations. You
receive the right amount of ventilation literally at the push of
a button.

CHIMNEY & ISLAND
Every room deserves a focal point. In the kitchen, achieve it with Broan Chimney,
Island, and Pro-style range hoods. Strong angles, gentle curves, glass accents, striking
lighting. Details make all the difference, and that says something about you.
