The weather having got better after being knocked out by the heat last week, I've decided to resurrect an old plan to install some sort of active ventilation in my house. My cellar is a huge cold source, but I prefer to occupy the living room and dining room. My plan is to draw the cold air out of the cellar and circulate it into the living areas of the house.
Some questions: What would be better, actively draw the warm air out of the house and have the negative pressure draw replacement cold air from the cellar, or actively draw cold air from the cellar and have the positive pressure passively draw the warm air out of the house?
While the cellar is what I call "bone dry", as with any underground stone-built structure there is imperceptable damp, noticable if things like paper products or sacks of cement are left for extended periods of time. Will drawing this slightly moist cold air into the warmer areas of the house cause any condensation or other issues?
