the home—automatically and efficiently.
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.
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,
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.
Broan SmartSense® meets intermittent and
continuous ventilation requirements of ASHRAE*
62 and other related guidelines (including building
codes derived from the ASHRAE standard).

installation, program the controls to match the size

An economic alternative to other systems.
Broan SmartSense® utilizes exhaust ventilation fans

adjusts the total run-time based on square footage
and number of bedrooms. Broan SmartSense
