  Delta Electronics BreezIntegrity Ventilation System

 As the industry’s first dimmable LED flat panel light
 fixture with ventilation, the BreezIntegrity ITG100ELED
 from Delta Electronics complements other edge-lit
 LED lighting in the home, while the 100-CFM exhaust
 fan maintains proper indoor air quality in bathrooms up   ENERGY
 to 100 square feet. The fixture is Energy Star certified
 and quietly operates at just 1.5 sones to eliminate
 homeowner noise complaints. It’s also UL listed for
 installation over the tub or shower when installed with   PRODUCTION,
 a GFCI-protected branch circuit.
 Utilizing brushless DC motor technology, the
 BreezIntegrity lasts up to two-and-a-half times as long   STORAGE AND
 as AC motor alternatives. The self-compensation
 feature of the DC motor senses static pressure and adjusts its speed to assure optimal CFM output
 and proper air movement over long duct runs.   CONTROL
 BreezIntegrity’s lighting is also designed to last, with the homeowner-preferred 13-watt dimmable
 LED light capable of maintaining an output of 1,000 lumens for up to 30,000 hours—three times as
 long as CFL alternatives. Color temperature of 3,000 K emits a soft, warm white light. Wiring with a
 dimmer switch allows homeowners to adjust the intensity of the lighting for added ambiance.

                 The Solar Canopy allows installation of a photovoltaic system that is usually not   to power a home. This can make homeownership much

               easier way to bring green energy to residences with flat roofs, particularly in large cities.   For more information: http://ecosmartsolution.com
               Each canopy typically features 18 to 24 solar panels, and each panel generates about
               360 watts of energy. The homeowner saves about $1,500 in electric costs annually.
               And, the entire unit can be installed in 1 to 2 days.
                 In addition to rooftops, the unit can be installed to create a carport or yard pergola.

               bright idea indeed.
