hi guys,
re posting from another sub forum, this one seems more appropriate..

I have an issue getting airflow into the baby nursery despite great aiirflow in the adjoining hallway and driveway. I have tried most things but none seem to do the trick.

I have a plan attached here so you can see my situation.

the big problem is the babies room

the problem is there is good airflow down the hallway and outside along the driveway which acts as a bit of wind tunnel but i cant guide that flow into the room despite having the door and window open. i have tried an out swinging door to try and funnel flow into the room but it didnt work. I am hesitant to open the front door and the side window (driveway window) as the noise off the street is loud.

any ideas?

thanks

The airflow down the hallway is too directed making any scope for off route air requiring draw (window) or force (fan). A suggestion would be to install a solar powered wall fan to create negative draw or maybe something like a Solarventi to create positive air in. Whichever way you choose, creating continuous air flow in your child's bedroom is very good practice for health.
