Broan

Meeting ASHRAE Standard 62, the ultra-quiet SmartSense system by Broan automatically coordinates the operation of ventilation fans in the home, running them intermittently throughout the day when necessary. A master control switch controls up to 10 fans. The kit includes two Ultra Silent fans (one 110 CFM fan, one 80 CFM fan) and two SmartSense controls.

Grand Hall

Bringing standard tank and tankless water-heating technology together is the Eternal Hybrid water heater from Grand Hall. According to the company, the unit works on the principle of counter flow, with cold water entering from the bottom of the tank and a top-mounted turbo burner that forces heat downward. According to the company, it achieves an 86 percent thermal efficiency. For FREE information, visit http://pb.ims.ca/5336-143

NuTech

Following the trend toward Compact Fluorescent Lighting, NuTech's Composite Recessed CFL Downlight model is designed for new construction. The unit's small profile means it only needs 4.25 inches of space to fit in restricted spaces or angled ceilings. It can house one or two CFL sockets or dual or triple-tube lamps.
