Under the California Energy Code, a residential exhaust fan rated below about 90 CFM must generally meet a MINIMUM efficacy of about:
a.0.5 CFM per watt
b.1.0 CFM per watt
c.1.4 CFM per watt
d.3.0 CFM per watt
Explanation
Small residential exhaust fans must move at least about 1.4 CFM per watt to qualify as energy efficient. 0.5 and 1.0 fall below the standard, while 3.0 is a target more typical of larger, higher-efficiency fans.
