Basement ventilation question (design)

Hi,

So I'm in the process of setting up a nice basement location. Installing AC unit which will be used strictly for this basement. Planning on having 2 seperate rooms that tie together via a door for the veg/clone and flower rooms. My question is, what do I need for vent fans and airflow from the intake and the exhaust. I plan on having the AC unit outside feed an intake duct down to the basement for each room and then have an exhaust duct going from each room up through the roof and venting out the chimney or something along those lines. How do I setup my fans? One on each exhaust? One on each intake? Or one on both intake and exhaust? If on both intake and exhaust what CFM fans do I use? The combined volume of the two seperate sections I"ll be using is 724 cubic feet.

So do I just pump AC in through a passive intake vent and use active exhaust fans with 400-800 CFM ratings to clear out that room in 1-2 minutes?

I'm confused on the layout and design of the ventilation system...comments and advice is appreciated!

Thanks,

yeah I'd just use the fan's for the exhaust part of the room. with the fans I'd say get ones that move as many cfm as you can afford. I'd go 600 cfm minimum
