Asked the same qn in the thread below earlier this week but got no recs.

Building cellar: finishing the racking and 'what I would do differently'

Ideally your cellar is below grade, so your outside walls have earth on the other side and can’t be used for venting. If you are building above grade, then having an outside wall makes the venting issue with a sealed unit more convenient for sure. What I don’t know is whether there are temperature-differential limits that would impact this option. It could well be that if outside temps get above X then using the exterior wall to vent your sealed unit would not be an option.

Whereabouts in north florida are you building? We’re in Alys Beach.
