Hello RIU Community!
To begin, I would love to know how fan size and room size work. For example: If I have an 8x10 ft room with a 7 ft ceiling, which is 560 cubic feet, do I need an exhaust fan in that ball park of 560 CFM or could I use a fan of 172 CFM? Would the only downfall to a smaller fan in comparison to the room be that is takes longer to vent or am I missing something? Also, I would like to order an environmental controller that has the option of having a single control for Humidity and Temperature, or should I go for the controller with independent Temperature and Humidity controls? I am leaning toward the single control because that way I could use a single fan to control both Humidity and Temperature. But what I am wondering if that is even how it works?
Thanks for your time. Hope to hear LOTS of responses!
