Lung room help

my cabs are crowded
I'd like all my HVAC in a separate room
It's a small 2 room, 6x8 x6 ea.
Third room for lung processing

Keep circulation fans in flower
Lung room would have the
filter and fan
Dehuey
A/C
Heater

What's the circulation strategy?
Size calculation ?

Any experiences that can help me avoid pitfalls?

Extractor fan in lung room, filter in room 3 ducted straight through room 2 to the fan. Passive grilles between 1&2 and 2&3. This way conditioned air will be pulled from the lung room, thru room 2 and into room 3 and back to the lung room. An 8" inline fan with a speed controller would be fine. An 8"x14" transfer grille between rooms will allow flow between rooms.

I would exhaust each room with inline fan to exchange air at least 2x min. Condition the air and pump it back through the rooms.

In each tent should have a least an 8" fan rated for at least 576cfms. That's 2x min.
IMHO I would fan the air going into the rooms with a smaller rated fan, maybe with an air curtain around the bottom of your rooms.

In your lung room exhaust to replace stagnated air. But you also need to let air in. How big is the lung room?

no size idea on lung room yet
i figure somewhere there's an equation to have the right lung for 2x 288sqft rooms

i was thinking bringing the treated air into the flower rooms (1&2) at ground level through a manifold ( DIY perforated pipe)along the back floor of each room to mixed passively with the interior mixing fans

so I need a fan, probably on a tee, or two individual fans, inside room 3 (lung) constantly pulling air into the lung and mixing.

the filter and fan will be temp controlled for exhaust out of the lung room for all three rooms

BTW
all this is the vented room option
the rooms are designed to be sealed by this summer hopefully

Have not gone into design mode to decide if im going to flip flop the 6-600's to split them into three or run it as a full on/off system. so light leaks have to be considered in the air passages

the plan is actually 3 600's and 2 DE 600/750's
which will eventually turn into 4 DE 600's

its all being built up slowly from nothing this fall
almost got all 3 6's up and running, right now its in perpetual, 10 plants every three weeks
but the last set finished early. 3 more weeks and the first room should be all fired up
