It should say on the box/manual of the fan how much air it can push at a given time.
Im asking what size and find i should get? How do i determine what size fan and carbon filter i should get. Is this based off size room? lights? both?
anyhelp please?

Hey watsupbud,
Fans are rated by cfm(cubic feet per minute)
Get the volume of your room in cubic feet and find a cfm that will clear the room once every 3-5 minutes and that's the cfm I would not go below.
The more times you can vent the room the better
Hope that made sense

I forgot to add that ducting and stuff will lower the efficiency of the fan so try to overshoot it as much as you can

you are right
it's based on room size
cfm - cubic feet per minute
i've heard everything from 1 time per 5 minutes to 3 times per minute your fan should clear the room
i think i would be satisfied with a fan clearing my room evry minute or so
i'd say that if you have good AC in your home, you'd need less and if you don't you'll have more
at this point, starting over, i'd say get an 8inch whether you need it or not - set the controller lower and grow into it as you can.

The hottest part of the day is when i would keep fan frequency the highest,it will help keep temps lower.Or if u have an AC unit then there wont need to be much concern for the fan other than proper ventilation.
