Hi, I live in Malta.. an Island in Europe
I have a large house with a basement, 2 floors & a roof.
Plan attached
I have taken part of my basement which is my car garage to make it into an office.. i have partitioned it with drywall.
I need some help to find ways to vent both the garage are and both the office area.
The garage door has some vents in it, there is a door between the garage and the office (internal) and there is also a door from the office to the outside to a stairs leaving up to my yard.
The office door has a window in it that is constantly open with an insect screen. Air does come in but since there is now flow it is very minimal.
I have taught of adding a ventilation system (Powered by electricity) I am not sure if air has to be brought in from the outside or be pushed out.
The basement is slightly humid.. being an island we always have humidity.
I have 2 large fish tanks in the office.. one covered one partially.. in fact i have a dehumidifier running most of the time that keeps sucking water from my tanks. Both the office are and garage area sometimes feel have no air..
Can someone suggest a system i can use to solve this problem, keep rooms fresh and lower humidity. My walls to outside are stone, internal walls are drywall with metal studs.
Thanks in advance
