I’m Jordan Smith, a design builder in Austin, Texas with Smith House Company, and I’m at IBS 2026 in Orlando checking out the Panasonic booth, where two products really stood out: a new all-in-one dryer booster fan with a built-in lint trap and static pressure indicator light that tells you when it’s time to clean it (seriously, why don’t all HVAC and ventilation systems have status lights like this?), and a powerful, ultra-quiet vortex-style destratification fan that feels like a small jet engine and could be a game-changer for modern porch builds by delivering directional airflow exactly where you want it—smarter ventilation and better comfort as our seasons keep getting hotter.
