Product Release: Panasonic 110 CFM WhisperGreen Fans
Orlando – In response to high customer demand, Panasonic Home & Environment Company is expanding its third generation of WhisperGreen® premium ventilation fans to include two new 110 CFM WhisperGreen fans. New models will be unveiled here at the 2012 International Builders’ Show (IBS). Ideal for the builder market, 110 CFM models FV-11VK3 and FV-11VKL3 will be available beginning April 2012.
Several proprietary WhisperGreen features apply to the 110 CFM models, including SmartFlow™ Optimum CFM Technology that detects and compensates for additional static pressure by increasing the airflow to achieve the specified CFM output, and Panasonic’s super energy efficient DC motor, allowing fans to be up to 592% more energy efficient than ENERGY STAR standards. The new models also include a dual adaptor for 4” or 6” ducts, making them a great option for renovation projects as well as new construction.
“At Panasonic, we pay close attention to industry demand when developing new products,” said Anita So, Marketing Manager, Panasonic Home & Environment Company. “With 110 CFM becoming more of an industry standard, we have expanded our WhisperGreen since builders and contractors have come to love all of the innovative features of the product line. These new 110 CFM models will continue to improve indoor air quality in homes and light commercial applications by removing pollutants, allergens and stale air, all while operating with superior energy efficiency.”
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), ENERGY STAR®, LEED for Homes, CalGreen and the Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) have all set the industry standard for performance measurement at .25” w.g. for airflow. Like the other third generation WhisperGreen models, the 110 CFM fans maintain the industry-leading performance and address sone levels at 0.25” w.g. of increased static pressure. Additionally, the FV-11VKL3 model features a contemporary flush mount grille that incorporate a 32-Watt ENERGY STAR rated CFL light fixture and a 4-Watt night light.
All WhisperGreen models are ENERGY STAR® rated, HVI certified and ideal for complying with ASHRAE Standard 62.2, the ventilation platform adopted by LEED for Homes, ENERGY STAR Indoor Air Quality Program, CalGreen and California Title 24.
