An indoor air quality system is configured to improve indoor air quality conditions within a local environment of a building. The indoor air quality system operates according to a method that includes obtaining indoor air levels and operating one or more appliances to adjust the indoor air levels. The system includes one or more monitoring devices.

System for adjusting humidity levels within an environment

A system and method for obtaining environmental data—namely air quality information—from various devices contained within a structure is disclosed herein. The various devices contain sensors that can obtain environmental data, which is then analyzed by the system to determine if any level of a component within the data is outside of a predefined threshold range. If the system determines that the level of the component is outside of the predefined threshold range for that given component, the system will carry out certain steps in order to bring the level within the predetermined threshold range. These steps include selecting the appropriate appliance and the proper operating conditions to most efficiently bring the level back within the predetermined threshold range. Once the system has determined that the level is back within the predetermined threshold range, the system will instruct the selected appliance to turn OFF.

System and method for controlling indoor air quality

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a ventilation system includes at least one user directed component and a plurality of sensors configured to detect a plurality of control gestures within a gesture field designated for presentation of control gestures by a user. The ventilation system may further be configured such that a control gesture of the plurality of control gestures is presented within the gesture field for detection of said control gesture by the plurality of sensors, and the plurality of sensors recognizes the control gesture as corresponding to an operation of the at least one user directed component. The ventilation system may still further include a controller for polling the plurality of sensors and converting a recognized control gesture to a command signal for operating the at least one user directed component.

Range hood ventilation system and control therefor

A range hood for a microwave includes a range-hood mount and a pair of hood slides coupled to the range-hood mount. Each hood slide includes portions that are configured to move relative to the range-hood mount between a retracted position and an extended position. The range hood further includes an expandable hood extension coupled to the pair of slides and configured to move from a collapsed configuration, when the pair of slides are arranged in the retracted position, to an expanded configuration, when the pair of slides are in the extended position.

Retractable range hood

A venting system in accordance with the present disclosure includes a ventilation fan and one or more sensors coupled to the ventilation fan. The ventilation fan is positioned to vent air from an indoor environment. The sensors are positioned to monitor conditions in the indoor environment and selectively operate the ventilation fan to condition air in the indoor environment.

Smart indoor air venting system

According to an aspect of this disclosure, a ventilation and lighting system including a main housing having an inlet opening and a discharge opening, a blower and motor assembly disposed within a housing and operable to move air through the inlet and outlet, a grille configured to be located at the inlet opening, the grille having a cavity and a plate defining a plurality of apertures through which air may move, and one or more lighting elements arranged within the cavity and an optical component covering the cavity. The system is arranged such that light developed by the one or more lighting elements mixes within the cavity and transmits through the optical component covering the cavity, and the system further includes a controller that coordinates operation of the blower and motor assembly and the one or more lighting elements from a remote location.

Ventilation fan system with advanced chromatherapy controls

A ventilation and lighting system having a fan, a grille having one or more lighting elements and a controller that coordinates operation of the fan and the one or more lighting elements from a remote location. The controller defines scene control configured to define one or more scenes, each of which defines a predefined light control and fan control. The light control can have predefined settings of color, duration, intensity, saturation, and/or correlated color temperature. The fan control can have predefined settings of duration and/or power.
