Hey all,
As the title suggests I have an 11' x 20' attached garage(4th car garage). It is a single car obviously, also has a 4' x 4' window. I currently have a portable AC unit that is hooked up to the window, but I am going to be cutting a 6" dia. hole for an actual wall mounted exhaust vent. That portion is already figured and handled. However, I need some help and general understanding to make sure I have proper air exchange.
I will be completely insulating the garage door, as well as the window. The garage door, will be basically a wall when I am done, won't be opened ever, except for very rare and extreme circumstances. But I am sealing the entire perimeter with gasketing material I use at my place of work for the same purpose. So my air exchange will be affected I believe.
Will I have to add two (maybe only one?) more passive air vents in my garage to ensure everything gets the proper amount of airflow? Cause I don't know where the air would be coming from once I seal the garage door. I also was also considering a two vent holed window insert, they make them as well, and maybe I could just use the exhaust on the bottom hole and the intake air for the entire garage on the upper hole?
tl;dr - Will sealing my entire garage up require passive wall vents to be installed to allow for proper airflow? Or maybe even an upgraded dual vent window insert?
