I have just had a log cabin installed, it is being used as a gym.
I have installed an extractor fan to help with the flow of air. The extractor fan is located high up (see picture) and I am wondering where to position the vents to allow flow of air into the room (and then out through the extractor fan).
It makes sense to me to have them on the opposite wall to the fan and low down (see pic). I thought I would ask you guys if this seems right? If not, where would you position them?
My reasoning is, this will allow the best flow of air through the cabin.
I was also thinking of having another 2 (additional) vents on the same side as the extractor fan, again low down, as I thought this might create an even better flow of air (more encompassing of the entire room).
lastly, I also thought of having (additional) vents high up (somewhere) to allow flow of air even when the extractor fan is not on, thus allowing passive flow, but I am not sure where or if this is needed? I thought it would be best to have them the opposite side to the fan, but.... I would then definitely need some vents on the same side of the fan, to allow the correct direction of the passive flow.
Hoping for a few thoughts on these positions? Cheers
