Hi Patricia,

    I can't give you guidelines, but I can suggest fans that you, or
    anyone, might use to ventilate your shop. I have used Fantech inline
    duct fans in two large shops and they have worked just great. I
    currently have two on them in the shop. One pulls the soldering
    fumes away from the ten goldsmith benches and the other is connected
    to hoods over the kilns and plating area. The inline fans come in
    different sizes, depending on how much air needs to be moved. We
    installed them above our suspended ceiling, near where they are
    vented outside. You can hear them running but they are not terribly
    bothersome. We had a local heating and cooling company install them,
    along with making the sheet metal hoods over the casting and plating
    areas. You need to use professionals so they can calculate the
    volume of air the is being removed from the shop and be sure you
    have enough fresh air to replace it. I have really been very happy
    with them, at my last shop we used one for 15 years without any
    trouble. Hope that helps. Usual disclaimers.
