i'm confused on climate controls maybe you guys can help me. I understand if you are in a warm climate and want to use Co2, you inevitably have to use a/c (dirthawker found this out i believe).
1) it seems most people are opting for the portable a/c's rather than window units, do the window units leak Co2?
2) how does a heat pump work differently than a normal a/c?
3) what's a swamp cooler?
4)scrubbing the air is important. you don't want dank smell to accumulate, and in the event of mold spore generation, you want to exhume them from the room. One can either choose to bring air from the outside of the dwelling or the inside. OUTSIDE air is susceptible to whatever weather conditions are, (ex. it could have rained that day, thus you would be bringing in very humid air, or it could be very hot or cold that day, temperature variablility could possibly harm plants). bringing air from the INSIDE means that you would be sucking air that you have already a/c'd, thus you have to run your central a/c more often (more $). what i don't understand is what to do when the outside air is 95+ degrees outside, and 82+ degrees inside.
5) are people setting climate controllers to turn on the exhaust fans at 80 degrees, and their a/c's to come on at 85 degrees? wouldn't the fans just exhaust all the a/c and co2?
Thanks guys, i think my head is swirling with facts and i'm having a hard time putting it all together.
