A recurring problem in many basements is that vents are closed because they draw in cold air. This causes the air in the basement to become stagnant and over time it becomes "sour," which means it becomes moisture-laden. This results in a distinct basement smell. To avoid this, the basement must be properly ventilated.
Airmove has the solution with smart fresh air vents for basements
With a fresh air vent from Airmove, you don't have to manually regulate the intake. The vent adapts itself to the outdoor temperature. Airmove's vents are self-regulating and automatically adjust the air gap and air volume using a temperature-sensitive thermostat. In auto mode, the airflow decreases with falling temperature and increases when the temperature rises.
The number of fresh air vents needed in a basement depends on how many rooms there are. A rule of thumb is one vent per 25 square meters. If the room is larger than 25 square meters, two fresh air vents are recommended.
