Patent number: 11262035Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2021Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Broan-NuTone LLCInventors: Benjamin Puffer, Bernard Krauska, Colin Norton, Jason Asmus, Julie Stange, Lauren Weigel

Patent number: 10830465Abstract: An integrated ventilation and illumination system includes a ventilation assembly, a light fixture assembly, and an adaptor. In an installed position, the ventilation assembly is installed in a ceiling of a room of building structure to provide ventilation for the room and the light fixture assembly is mounted in a low-profile configuration relative to the ceiling. The adaptor spans and obscures an inlet opening of the ventilation assembly and includes at least one opening that allows for the passage of air through both the adaptor and into the inlet opening. A mounting bracket is coupled to both the adaptor and the light fixture assembly in the installed position, where the fixture is offset a first critical distance from the adaptor to define an air flow gap that allows for air flow around the light fixture assembly, through the opening in the adaptor and into the internal region of the main housing.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Broan-NuTone LLCInventors: Eshank Singh, Bernard J.
