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 ventilation assembly having a moveable trim moveable between an open position in which the moveable trim defines a gap with a ceiling trim to allow movement of fluid and a closed position in which the moveable trim is against or adjacent to the ceiling trim to eliminate or reduce the gap and prevent or limit fluid flow.

Selectively closable ventilation opening

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 flush-mounted, in-ceiling exhaust fan grille for attachment to an exhaust fan housing includes a planar integration flange forming a perimeter of the grille. The integration flange includes a plurality of through holes along the perimeter. An insert may be configured for insertion within the perimeter of the integration flange. A light module may be configured to join within a central portion of the insert while maintaining an opening between an entirety of the light module and the insert. At least one spring may be attached to the insert on a first end and attached to the fan housing on a second end, wherein the at least one spring applies a force drawing the insert towards the fan housing. An exhaust fan may be provided to draw air into the fan housing through the opening between the light module and the insert to be exhausted for proper ventilation.

Flush-mount fan grille

A combined ventilation and illumination system includes a ventilation assembly, a light fixture assembly, and a connector assembly. In an installed position, the system is installed above a ceiling of a room of building structure (e.g., a residence or workplace) to provide ventilation for the room. The system couples a light fixture to ventilation assembly below the ceiling. In the installed position, an air flow cavity is defined between the light fixture and the ceiling, where the cavity allows for air flow around the light fixture and into the ventilation assembly for eventual exhaust beyond the room in which the system is installed. The cavity includes a first critical distance that is sized according to operating parameters of a blower of the ventilation assembly to provide an adequate flow rate of intake air and to provide acceptable sound levels during operation of the system.

Combined ventilation and illumination system

A ventilation system includes a main housing defining an internal region and a blower contained within the internal region. The ventilation system is positioned adjacent to a room of a building structure and is configured to draw air out of the room to provide ventilation. The ventilation system further includes a grille secured relative to the main housing using an attachment feature.

Grille attachment feature for a ventilation system

A ventilation grille having a trim ring and a plate releasably connected to the trim ring. The trim ring defines an aperture allowing connection of the trim ring to a main housing of a ventilation system defining an internal region in which a blower is located. The plate is releasably connected to the trim ring to allow access to the trim ring aperture for connection of the trim ring to the main housing or blower and disconnection of the trim ring from the main housing or blower.

Grille attachment system for a ventilation system

A grille assembly for a ventilation system, the grille comprising a first primary reflector, a second primary reflector configured and arranged to define an intake gap between the first primary reflector and the second primary reflector, and a secondary reflector located over the intake gap to conceal the intake gap from view; a light source on one of the first and second primary reflectors and configured and arranged to generate light wherein at least some of the light will be redirected by both the primary and secondary reflectors.
