INSTALLATION (IN EXISTING CONSTRUCTION) CONTINUEDIII
Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed
directly over the fan housing in the attic.
Panasonic fans and fan/light combination
units do not create excessive heat that is
a common problem with recessed light
fixtures or some competitors fan/light
combinations. Our efficient, cool-running
motors and our fluorescent lamps do not
create enough ambient heat to be subjected
to these limitations.
Proper insulate the area around the fan to
minimize building heat loss and gain. (Fig. 13)
