Air exchanger questions

Less humidity means more temp swings. What bad chemicals do you want to keep from getting in? What are you doing around your house? Just be careful the once or twice a year that you might fertilize or spray for bugs.
If you just want less humidity, then try a dehumidifier - they will heat the air up a bit too.

Problem with dehumidifier is it will not only work to clear up room, but shoot your evaporation up and is a lot of power. An actual ERV type air exchanger minimizes the loss of heat/cool air when outside is different than inside. (IE not freeze the house like an open window would.) If you were to say just create an outflow, I guess you can have issues with air pressure and such is why even if not a true erv you should allow for 2 way air exchange.
In my situation which hasn't happened yet. I'm looking at ERV type deal, or possibly making sure my ac/heat is drawing air from that room, or just trying to button up the sump room a bit more and running skimmer air line outside.
Part of me was also wondering, what about a more passive dessicant. Literally a ton of those little packets or even just trays of rice. Once they start to get some absorbtion going, scoop them up to go dry in the sun and repeat?
