Extractor fan in reverse? Would it be better?

[jdennis79]

Hi All,

I have an extremely damp bedroom its about 14' x 14', and is north facing.

I live in the Canaries, so we have no central heating, Damp coarse, guttering or anything to help with the rain.

I have had mould growing on walls, my bed feels damp to touch, and my the humidity in the room has been around 75-85% for weeks now.

I sleep with my door to my living room open to help ventilation and open windows when i can.

But its still damp

I am going to install an extractor fan, but i was wondering if it would be better to suck the dryier outside air in? than push the moist air out?

i am new to this....so all help appreciated


Thanks

James

If you push the damp inside air out, The dry outside air will have to replace it .Or you would live in a partial vacuum
