I'm using the office space as a lung room currently, each grow chamber has a 4 inch inline intake fan that is plumbed into the office space and then a separate 6 inch exhaust fan that go outdoors. Each has a pretty nice wall mount steel oscillating fan. I have 2 air conditioners in the house that I maintain the daytime temps but its been getting pretty cold at nights the last few weeks so Ive been shutting them off and opening the windows but its gotten down into the 40's which threw everything out of wack. I found if I just close the office room door at night and close that window the room stays a fair bit warmer or I may have to not open the windows at night so the house holds temps over night. Its crazy how it can hit 90 during the day here and drop into the mid 40's at night during the early fall its a nightmare for the outdoor it makes that a shit ton more work keeping the plants healthy.Just out of curiosity sake, how are you controlling the environment in those individual areas?
Are you conditioning the air of your new office and have it act as your lung room?
Do you have a window unit for the cooling or do you use a separate section off your house AC system? Those fancy central air conditioners where you can have different quadrants?
I guess you're venting out from each one of the areas, or eventually you'll get to that point, into the new office area which I assume is acting as your lung room?
When I moved my grow from the big walk-in closet to the spare bedroom, I isolated that room from the central AC system. It would have been way too expensive to run the entire house temperature as the same as the grow room. I dealt with the inefficiency of the one pipe mobile AC unit that I was using in the big walk-in closet until it went on the Fritz and I got a far more efficient window unit. It's a more efficient unit period and it's a more efficient method, with the one pipe system drawing in makeup air because it exhausts it outside.
