I had a question regarding Cold Air returns in basements...especially when creating new rooms in the basement.
I'm beginning to finish my basement and I was wondering if cold air returns need to be installed into each room that I build in the basement. I've attached a simple picture of the proposed layout of my basement, showing the current placement of heating/cooling ducts and the cold air return vent. Do I need one in the Bedroom/Den? Storage room? If so, can they be connected to the main cold air return vent? Any help would be appreciated.
