I'm setting up a golf simulator in my garage, but I'm facing a big problem with heat and stuffiness since I have no airflow. The ceiling is unfinished, and while there's a window, it can't open. I'm looking for DIY ventilation solutions that don't require keeping the garage door open. I plan to use Reflectix on the rafters and I'm considering adding a vent on the side of the garage. Would one vent be effective, or do I need a second one for proper airflow? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Roof vents could be a great solution for your garage! They help let hot air escape and can improve airflow without needing to open the garage door. It’s surprising that your builder didn't install any. If you’re up for a DIY challenge, you might find some good options at your local hardware store, or you can check online for kits made for easy installation. Just make sure to consider the right placement to get the best results!
Adding a couple of vents could really help. Without airflow, the heat just builds up, so a single vent might not cut it. If you're handy, installing a couple of side vents could create cross-ventilation. Also, consider checking on that mold in the picture—you might need to tackle that first before doing any new installations!
How tough are those to install yourself? I'm not super handy, but I’d love to try if it’s not too complicated.
