In the planning stages of building my new shop. The plan (if I can pull it off) is a 40x100x16, fully spray foamed structure. I am in Central Oklahoma where the average humidity runs about 55%.
I am trying to be proactive here and design it, so that I don't have to do a lot of retrofitting.
I am just wondering if an exhaust fan would be a good investment for moving air through the shop?
I am wondering if it would be counterproductive if you draw hotter air from outside into the building, rather than leaving the cooled shop closed up. Make sense?
The summers here are pretty grueling. Most days are 100+ starting about the end of May until Septemberish.
I am looking at an approx. size of 36" diameter. maybe in the 8-10K CFM range. Something like this.

Thoughts?
Or would I be better off doing 3 of these?
