Jesup, IA | Here is what not to do. When I built my 80' x 80' shop, I put in two 24" Farmtek livestock ventilation fans on a timer. I have no idea what I was thinking, as I had to carpenter in an inlet later. You can't run those exhaust fans without a way for the air to get in!
The inlet (36" square) has motorized louvers. On a snowy day it sucked precip right into the building until I got an exhaust hood on the outside of the building.
Finally, the fans themselves have exhaust hoods, but not motorized louvers. On a breezy day they slap and bang. Be sure to get motorized ones so they do not do this. And think ahead where you want air to enter the building when you run the fan(s). Works good now, but if I was doing it over, I would have planned two smaller inlets.
