I got a look at the next generation bathroom fan and I am impressed. They had a guy from panasonic at the contractors lunch today showing off the new DC motor LED, motion activated, humidistat off fan. Quite a gadget.
There is a control panel under the grill to set everything up.
The most impressive thing was how quiet it is. You literally had to hold your hand over the out port to know it was running at 80 CFM.
I assume there are other brands with similar offerings but this was pretty neat.
Sticker shock was a whole other thing tho. The full boat featured unit was $540 list, minus whatever the supplier will do for you. Less features costs less obviously.
Still it might be just the thing for an upscale house.
