    Basement Ventilation and Airflow
    Greetings.

    The crawl space under my house could use a little airflow. Can anybody recommend a type of permanent fan or type of ventilation that will slowly draw air out from under the house. I don't want to create a strong current of air to cool everything too much. I also don't want some huge fan draining precious electricity. When I was in Arizona I saw a new house with something that looked like 3 computer fans pushing air out from under a house. What is the industry standard. Maybe I just need more static vents?

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    You should also have a complete plastic vapor barrier in the crawl space.
