        "text": "Standard bathroom fans are manually operated by a switch, while humidity-sensing fans turn on automatically when moisture reaches a set threshold and turn off once the room clears. Humidity-sensing models prevent moisture damage caused by family members forgetting to run the fan during or after showers. The tradeoff involves upfront fixture cost and occasional sensor calibration, whereas manual fans require strict user habit to run 15 to 20 minutes post-shower. Integrated models can also incorporate quiet motors, continuous low-sone operation, and ambient nightlights.",
