Venting approach for finished shed?

Hey all! I’ve been working out of the finished shed the previous owners of our home built which has been great aside from the fact that there isn’t any ventilation which makes it super stuffy and warm. Since there are no windows (only skylights), I’m thinking my best option would be to do something like the following: Install a gable vent on the exterior wall inside the “attic” door I have open in the first picture Mount an exhaust fan to the ceiling (in between the two lights in the second photo) and duct it to the gable vent Cut a small vent near the floor on the opposite wall to let cool air in The “attic” has vents to the roof, but from what I’ve been reading, I don’t think I should tie into those since the attic itself also needs to vent. Thoughts on this approach? Any easier solutions I might be overlooking? Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/theslexperience [link] [comments]

Hey all!

I’ve been working out of the finished shed the previous owners of our home built which has been great aside from the fact that there isn’t any ventilation which makes it super stuffy and warm.

Since there are no windows (only skylights), I’m thinking my best option would be to do something like the following:

  1. Install a gable vent on the exterior wall inside the “attic” door I have open in the first picture
  2. Mount an exhaust fan to the ceiling (in between the two lights in the second photo) and duct it to the gable vent
  3. Cut a small vent near the floor on the opposite wall to let cool air in

The “attic” has vents to the roof, but from what I’ve been reading, I don’t think I should tie into those since the attic itself also needs to vent.

Thoughts on this approach? Any easier solutions I might be overlooking? Thanks in advance!
