@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz what the actual fuck?!
Never saw an appartment with a hardwired fan, they're more or less always light triggered with a delay relay set to 10 minutes or little bit more.
Would this be true, it would very much skew the maths in favour of my personal solution, which draws about 80W continously, dehumidifying the room while also drying and warming my towels.
Should I start selling these things now? o.O

@fxk8y@furry.engineer the ones installed in walls in the bathroom are probably the ones you're thinking of. The bigger box ones installed centrally with ducts that also go to the toilet and other places around the house, are permanently on and part of the ventilation system to keep the house free of CO2, and dry, also behind the walls. You cannot turn these off without unplugging them at their installation site; the house may have a button that makes them run faster, but they never turn off entirely.
