I think you can get away with venting directly into your "lung room." If humidity gets high, deal with it then, but I think it would be a slight problem, at worst, in winter.
I'd install a utility sink. I'm in love with my utility sink. I'm thinking of popping the question.
5x5 is really tight to do anything other than strictly growing. I wouldn't expect to have room to work in either of those areas.
Would you consider a veg tent in the basement and using the 5x10 as your flower/dry area?
Here's what I would do, if I wasn't building any walls to lay it out proper that is.
I'd grab a tent and put it in the basement outside of this 5x10 area. Pretty big one. Use a mini split or whatever HVAC you have on that 5x10 room. Dehumidifier in there too. Co2 too, totally seal it off. Get a trolmaster controller for it all... Do it right.
Plumb venting to the veg tent from that 5x10 area so you're pumping air constantly from that 5x10 conditioned area into your veg area and then back into the conditioned room- slight sacrifice here but it would be expensive to set up two separate zones. Keep that tent air tight and it'll be the same temp/humidity, and with co2 from the 5x10 area, maybe a bit warmer, which is perfect for veg.
This way you have more real estate without breaking the budget, and you have a nice properly conditioned area that can produce a lot. I'd keep the watering system, and everything you can in the basement as opposed to in that 5x10 room to save on space.
Decision between open and closed system dictates insulation but I'd lean towards closed system for greater climate control. I'd have to be there to assess insulation but I recommend rockwool if you have temperature differences great enough to warrant insulation.
I'd run some RO water in there, with a DTW system or whatever fits your fancy. Couple flood trays to avoid having to do a floor drain. No sink needed, put one in the basement i
K, this is EXACTLY what I hoped to hear! Thank you! I truly appreciate the thought process behind this answer. You rock.5x5 is really tight to do anything other than strictly growing. I wouldn't expect to have room to work in either of those areas.

Good to know about the humidity! "Lung room" - stealing that. :)I think you can get away with venting directly into your "lung room." If humidity gets high, deal with it then, but I think it would be a slight problem, at worst, in winter.
