Find the Right Airbus for you:
Step 1: Choose your Room Type
Different wet areas require varying levels of air changes to maintain a healthy environment. If you are unsure which exhaust fan is suitable for your space, you can use our exhaust fan calculator.
Powder Room:
- Small space typically with a toilet and hand basin
- Requires around 10 air changes per hour
- Airbus 200 is ideal for compact ventilation needs
Laundry:
- High moisture environment from washing and drying
- Requires around 10–15 air changes per hour
- Airbus 250 provides balanced airflow for effective moisture control
Standard Bathroom:
- Includes shower or bath with moderate steam levels
- Requires around 15 air changes per hour
- Airbus 250 or 300 depending on room size and layout
Large Bathroom:
- Larger spaces, ensuites, or bathrooms with spa baths
- Requires 15–20 air changes per hour
- Airbus 300 or 500 for higher airflow performance
Step 2: Choose your requirements:
Once you have identified your wet area and the required air changes, the next step is selecting the right motor type for your application. Different motor types influence energy efficiency, noise levels and how the fan performs over extended use.

How to Choose the Right Exhaust Fan Size:
Choosing the right exhaust fan is based on two key factors: the size of your room and the number of air changes required to effectively remove moisture. Smaller spaces such as powder rooms require lower airflow, while larger bathrooms and laundries demand higher extraction rates to manage steam and humidity.
The Ventair Airbus range simplifies this process by offering clearly defined size options, each suited to specific room types and ventilation demands.
Why Airflow Matters in Bathroom Ventilation:
Effective bathroom ventilation depends on the ability of an exhaust fan to move enough air to replace humid air with fresh air. This is measured in air changes per hour (ACH). If airflow is too low, moisture remains in the space, increasing the risk of mould growth and long-term damage to surfaces and finishes.
By selecting the correct Airbus model for your room size, you ensure that your ventilation system performs efficiently and maintains a healthier indoor environment.

Ventair Airbus Exhaust Fan FAQ:
Core Sizing Questions:
Core Sizing Questions:
How do I choose the right Airbus exhaust fan size?
The right size depends on your room type and required air changes per hour. Smaller spaces like powder rooms suit the Airbus 200, while larger bathrooms or high-moisture areas may require the Airbus 300 or 500 for adequate airflow.
What size exhaust fan do I need for a bathroom?
Standard bathrooms typically require around 15 air changes per hour. In most cases, an Airbus 250 or 300 will provide sufficient airflow depending on the room size and usage.
Which Airbus model is best for a powder room?
The Airbus 200 is ideal for powder rooms, as these smaller spaces require less airflow and typically only need around 10 air changes per hour.
Do I need a larger exhaust fan for a big bathroom?
Yes. Larger bathrooms generate more moisture and require higher airflow. The Airbus 300 or 500 have a higher airflow and hence more suitable for larger bathrooms to ensure effective ventilation and moisture removal.
Motor Selection Questions:
Motor Selection Questions:
What is the difference between AC, DC and EC motors in exhaust fans?
AC motors are a traditional and cost-effective option, while DC motors offer improved energy efficiency and quieter operation. EC motors are designed for continuous ventilation and provide advanced control features and consistent airflow performance.
Which motor type is best for bathroom ventilation?
For most residential bathrooms, DC motors offer the best balance of energy efficiency and quiet operation. EC motors are better suited for continuous or whole-home ventilation applications.
Performance / Practical Questions:
Performance / Practical Questions:
Can an exhaust fan be too small?
Yes. An undersized exhaust fan will not remove enough moisture, leading to condensation, mould growth and poor air quality. It is important to match the fan size to your room and airflow requirements.
Can I use one exhaust fan for multiple rooms?
In some cases, larger exhaust fans like the Airbus 500 can be used in ducted setups to ventilate multiple areas. This depends on duct layout and airflow requirements.
How many air changes per hour does a bathroom need?
Bathrooms typically require around 10 to 20 air changes per hour depending on size and moisture levels. Powder rooms need less, while large or high-use bathrooms require more.
