Basement Dehumidification & Ventilation

I was in desperate need of dehumidifying my new workshop.

I was in desperate need of dehumidifying my new workshop. An energy-efficient way to do this is a controlled ventilation system based on the inside and outside dew points. I reused as many of my old parts as possible to save time and money. An old Arduino in a used case is in control of 3 recycled fans and a humidifier that I had to add for the muggy summer days.

The program calculates the inside and outside dew points every 10 seconds. If the inside dewpoint is above 6.3degC, dehumidification is needed. 

(operating mode: LUEFT): The fans are switched on when the outside dewpoint is 5degC below the inside dewpoint.  
(operating mode: ENTF): If the outside air is not suitable to dry the basement, a dehumidifier is started. While it is running, the condensate is collected in a reservoir with a level switch and a pump.
