Hi,
My HT setup is in a basement, which does not have any sort of ventilation mechanism except the air coming in from the stairs leading down and another small exhaust window opening. But both of these are not really useful as during movie watching I close all the openings to reduce the sound volume outside. During other times, the room remains closed so that dust does not enter..
All in all it is suffocating at times, with the stale air..
My initial plan was to install an AC, but after checking the mechanism of how AC works, I have dropped the idea..
From what I have come to know is that AC recirculates the same air inside the room, does not add any fresh air from outside. <Experts, please correct me on this if wrong>
I thought of putting multiple exhaust fans (CATA silent).. but that again introduces problems of sound volume due to multiple openings, also does not provide fresh air source, rather would clear stale air.
Now I am thinking of installing .75HP centrifugal fan on the ground floor which would pump clean air to the basement through an inlet..and would be noise free also.. but this solution is costing me more than 12-15k..
has anybody got better ideas?
