24x24 uninsulated Garage in New England build out?

My ventilation is temp controlled and switches to heat with a 7c delta. I built a chiller and may use it for cooling with fan coils but I typically head outside when it gets higher than 60f here.

Do you run co2 with the ventilation?

Any idea if a 12 inch inline fan would be able to vent enough to keep my temps down

for a huge room an the lights u r talking about,u don't seem to no some basic stuff seems u r a little over ya head ya over thinking it,

told u earlier how I do it here in maine, good luck

Sealing the room won't be an option

Right now until I have an extra 6-10k cash to buy the mini splits and get it all wired up and installed plus permits.

No, I have the tanks and controller but I just don't have proper mechanical cooling in place.

Really? Over thinking? Isn't that the whole ideal of him asking questions?

I have been unable to fund any calculations for volume of air to vent in relation to heat energy introduced into the room

You probably won't as it's so varied but at a change every 3 minutes you should be ok again if Intake is cool enough.

So I went to Famco and had some 12" 120v Dampers made. one is Normally Open (NO) and the other is Normally Closed (NC). my 12x48 scrubber will hang near the center of the room from the ceiling. Ill attache the fan to the scrubber and past the fan Ill run a 12" "Wye" and One damper on either end of the Y connection. the NC damper will get ducted out as the room exhaust the NO damper will not be ducted and will be open in the room. My thermostat will energize (powering both dampers) when interior temps reach 81 degrees and de-energize when temps get back down to 75 degrees. this will essentially take the scrubbed air from recirculating to exhausting when the t-stat energizes. my other t-stat will be used for low temp heating. because the temps get pretty cold up here in ME, ill need to add a space heater that will keep the room warm when lights are off.

Im using 2 Auber Instruments WIFI Temp/Humidity controllers. https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37&products_id=642

1 will be set for low temp/heater power on and low humidity humidifier power on
the other will be set to high temp exhaust damper power on and high Humidity Dehumidifier power on.

I also picked up a BlueLab Guardian Connect wifi monitor (how would I set the probes in a 275g reservoir? should i build a floating foam cradle to house the sensors so it raises/lowers with the water level?

I have 2 sensor push Temp/RH sensor but I will probable pick up a few more and a wifi gateway to monitor my Clone/seed tent down in the basement as well.

I should be finishing up with insulating walls this weekend. I have it all framed up and wired up now.

Its gorgeous up here. glad we made the move!

I have something similar re: temp control but use 24v ( I have more access to low voltage Hvac controls and relays). My space is a tad smaller at 8x8. The stat is wifi and has multi stage heat and cool as well as humidity (ecobee) it controls a portable heater on second stage heat via a relay to energize receptacle, first stage shuts off exhaust. The one stat controls all exhaust which I also use to dehumidify via intake or cooling coil using an enthalpy controller. It's going to be a great space can't wait to see it powered up .

Your setup sounds pretty slick bro my Automation and electrical knowledge is kind of limited but as I research more I plan on utilizing more sophisticated atmospheric controls. I've been spending all morning going to and from Lowe's with my trailer picking up plywood and foam board insulation I'm a cheap bastard so I use Lowe's 20% off coupons on every order I ended up snagging about 50 sheets of half inch Pine plywood sheathing for 13 bucks each jet.com recently had a sale on Botanicare Coco so I ordered a half pallet and got it about ten bucks/ 5kg block shipped

I wish I would have known about these before I sprung for the harbor instruments controllers

I'm a refrig. mechanic so know a bit about controls, enough to be dangerous lol. The ecobee3 lacks the ability to control more than one accessory which sucks but they have interfaces to control lighting and stuff. I used it as I'm a dealer for them so cheap . I have all kinds of shit waiting to go in the lab, just no time and the shed needs more power fed to it. CO2 may be the next thing as I bought a linear step feed valve and Honeywell sensor last year and keep looking at it lol. Sealing the room adds a new diamension and complicates things a tad more lol. Your room will be incredible when done and yes it can become a deep pit to throw money in lol

I am contemplating putting a 16x16 hvac intake box on the interior garage facing wall where I can utilize to standard central ac filters. The intake air will get pulled in from the non insulated portion of the garage. The air will have to make it in from the soffits lining the garage roof

BTW the height limit has been removed but the rec 4 limit is still indoor only.
