This video will feature a step-by-step fresh air intake system build. I’ll also show you my technical drawings for multiple designs of different sizes, complete with all the measurements you’ll need to build your own DIY ventilation system.
These systems are best suited for those with a limited budget or those who can’t significantly alter their living space for whatever reason. Maybe you’re renting and your landlord doesn’t feel like spending thousands of dollars on a proper ventilation system. Maybe you live in the city and your outdoor air is particularly polluted.
I’ve been loving how much my designs improve my indoor air quality, and I know you will too!
DISCLAIMER: these systems absolutely have their limitations. They cannot regulate the temperature or humidity of the incoming air, and are thus not a high-performance solution. BUT, I’ll teach you some workarounds to maximize their utility.
