Broan-NuTone will feature Overture during its exhibition at the 2023 CEDIA Expo (September 7-9, 2023). Overture, a fully automated fresh air system, uses sensor technology to monitor the home’s indoor air quality and provide insights on the current outdoor air quality and then acts on those findings by engaging the home’s ventilation and fresh air systems.
Earlier this year, Broan-NuTone announced a key update to Overture’s software: the system is now connected to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Air Quality Index (AQI) outdoor weather monitoring system that gives it the ability to shut down a home’s fresh air system (ERV or HRV) when outdoor air quality is poor, preventing the compromised air from entering the home until it becomes better in quality, while still meeting proper ventilation codes. Levels of pollution, including CO2, particulate matter, total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), and humidity, are all tracked directly in the app, which then automatically dictates if the outdoor air should be brought into the home.
Overture monitors the quality of air in the home, then automatically turns on the connected supply and exhaust ventilation when air quality levels are low, allowing homeowners to breathe easily when it comes to managing the health of their homes. When sensors detect a rise in indoor air pollution caused by increased humidity, VOCs, smoke, carbon dioxide, and small particles (sometimes referred to as PM2.5), the system automatically switches on the appropriate Broan-NuTone ventilation fan, rangehood, ERV/HRV, or supply fan to eliminate the pollutant while simultaneously bringing in fresh, clean air from outside. Now, users will see an AQI score within the app. Overture then automatically decides to bring in the outdoor air or not based on EPA recommendations.
The system is managed by a mobile app and is integrated with Amazon Alexa and Google.
The Broan-NuTone booth will demonstrate Overture’s whole-home capabilities and benefits with four separate rooms, a living room, a bathroom, a utility room, and a kitchen, featuring Overture hardware and Overture-compatible products.
