Yea Winter rains, I would get at least a an Energy Star rated one, you can start here

Dehumidifiers

Why ENERGY STAR? Choosing an ENERGY STAR dehumidifier can deliver savings on energy bills without sacrificing performance, features, and comfort, while protecting the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

I would make sure you get an aftermarket water pump because the ones with a built in pump fail. Id get the best I could afford because over capacity reduces operating cost. I thought I bought over capacity, but when it rains for a week its hard to dehumify that. But I can keep it at 50 % when 100 % outside. You may need a whole house dehumidifier. I was able to set mine it at 40 % and for get it, it was made for a dary. Filtered the air in with HEPA then sterilized it with ozone, it mad beautiful air. I have been using low amounts of ozone for 20 years ain't dead yet.

Well, don't neglect yourself, get a few bottles of oxygen too. Heck sakes a bariatric chamber can't be beat. So you are going for that Jerasic Strain, Put a plant patten on it & Be Careful

I used to have a fully sealed room. Co2 was taken care of by a propane burner. Never had any issues with humidity because the mini splits pulled plenty of moisture out of the room. As soon as I went to fresh air I had to get a quest and even with that I have to use a floor dehum to catch up.
