I want to install a few attic and whole house fans at my parent's apartment complex since the humidity is fairly high, and there is no type of ventilation, at all, in the entire building.

I was looking through the NEC for a little bit, but couldn't find nothing on it.

It's definitely going to be on a dedicated branch circuit.

What I wanted to know is if NM cable is permissible to be used from the panel, to the junction box. MC cable is probably used from the fan's electrical box to the junction box.

Secondly, I would like to have someone's opinion on how it should be wired in terms of switching it. I'm not going to be there, 24/7, but I don't know if the tenants are going to want to turn the switch on every time they cook or shower, might be too much for them to do or even remember. How would I go about doing this?
