it all started in 1932 when Henry Broan produced the Motordor Kitchen Fan. Yes in 1932 they were already working on Indoor Air Quality. Eric G stops in the Broan-Nutone booth at Design and Construction Week and sets up shopt to discuss what is new for 2022. We start out with Dave Jones, Sr Marketing Manager and talk about the latest in ventilation and some of the new innovations at the show. Then we dive into the new Overture System with Moataz (Tax) Khalil and discuss how they have created the only automated fresh air system. Overture™, the first fully-automated fresh air system, uses sophisticated sensor technology to monitor your home's indoor air quality. When it detects a rise in indoor air pollution caused by increased humidity, VOCs, smoke, carbon dioxide and small particles (sometimes referred to as PM2.5), the system will automatically turn on the nearest ventilation fan to eliminate the pollutant while simultaneously bringing in fresh, clean air from outside. The whole system is easily set up and controlled from your mobile device.
