        "text": "Proper ventilation prevents mold growth, peeling paint, and moisture damage to framing, which is critical in tighter, energy-efficient Colorado homes. In areas like Centennial, Greenwood Village, and Denver, building codes require mechanical exhaust fans vented directly outdoors if there is no operable window. Choose an exhaust fan rated for your room size—measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM)—and look for low sone ratings for quiet operation. Setting fans on humidity-sensing wall switches ensures they run long enough after showers to clear lingering steam.",
