Hey guys, I have a small problem that I am struggling to overcome. I have built a solid grow area out of timber within my spare bedroom. I ventilate the air into the attic through a pipe going through the ceiling. I have boarded over the window but I keep it slightly open and run my intake through that board to draw in fresh air from outside.
I would like to be able to close the door to this bedroom but the negative pressure creates noise via air rushing in around the edges of the door.
I can temporarily handle the problem if I open the window further, turn off the intake and reduce the outake dramatically. But this is a lot of hassle as it means unscrewing one of the boards which cover the window.
I'd like to be able to have the door to that room closed all day as my girlfriend is moving in soon and she won't be unscrewing panels everytime someone calls over.
I can't open the window any wider without it being a security risk and I get mould/rot when I run my fans on a low speed.
I have been looking at brick vents which look quite straight forward but I'm not sure if they would be sufficient. I have also considered running a pipe down to the room below with a vent on the ceiling which would act as a passive intake and would be quite easy to do.
Has anybody run into a similar problem? I'm not sure on the best way to handle this problem, I'd appreciate any advice.
