Is the motor always on?
Thank you for your question the Panasonic FV-08VKM3 motor will not always be on. When the unit is not in use it will shut down.

Constant CFM Performance: This WhisperGreen model features built-in intelligence called SmartFlow Optimum CFM Technology. This unique "electronic brain" lets the fan do what was once thought to be impossible: perform at a constant CFM regardless of elbows and other factors that might hinder performance. Basically, when a WhisperGreen fan faces static pressure, its speed is automatically increased to ensure that the desired CFM is actually achieved. This allows the fan to perform as rated and makes for easier sizing because the specifier no longer has to worry as much about compromising the fan's performance.
SmartAction Motion Sensor: The SmartAction motion sensor automatically activates whenever someone enters or leaves the room.
Variable Speed Control: This fan is equipped with a CustomVent Variable Speed Control. This allows the fan to run continuously at a pre-set level of 0, 50-110 CFM that can then be elevated to a maximum of 130 CFM when the switch is turned on. A High/Low delay timer (adjustable up to 60 minutes), will then return the fan to the minimum CFM level after a period of time set by the user.
Quiet Motor Means Quiet Operation: Panasonic is the first ventilation fan manufacturer to incorporate a DC motor in residential mechanical ventilation fans. The WhisperGreen series incorporates an enclosed DC motor designed for extremely quiet, energy-efficient operation. The permanently lubricated motor is also engineered for trouble-free, continuous run for several years.
Qualified for Energy Savings: ENERGY STAR-qualified products feature super-quiet operation and high CFM-to-Watt efficiency. The ENERGY STAR program was created to help consumers identify products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy. As an ENERGY STAR partner all of Panasonic's fans are ENERGY STAR-qualified and labeled accordingly.
User Friendly Installation: Detachable adaptors, firmly secured duct ends, adjustable mounting brackets (up to 26"), fan/motor units that detach easily from the housing and uncomplicated wiring all lend themselves to user-friendly installation. This model also features a double-hanger bar system for ideal positioning.
Tired of Cold Air Coming Through Your Ventilation Fan: This Panasonic fan has a built-in damper to prevent back draft, which helps to prevent outside air from coming through the fan. Also thanks to our efficient cool running motors, it doesn't create excessive heat. Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing to prevent heat from escaping.

Like many retailers, Build.com can choose to set its own prices independently. And even though manufacturers require Build.com and other retailers to display a product's "minimum advertised price" (or MAP), the retailer can choose to sell for less than that. But the price must be conveyed in other ways, and each individual manufacturer's MAP policy determines where the price can be seen.
To see the price for this product at Build.com, you'll need to place it in your shopping cart, and maybe even proceed to final checkout. If you're not ready to buy the product, simply remove it from the cart.
Build.com apologizes for any inconvenience. We'd just like to offer you the chance to save extra money while we adhere to manufacturers' MAP policies. Build.com is also working to educate manufacturers on how their policies impact customers and their buying behavior.
