Humidity and FAE in my homemade growroom (pics)

I would like to hear different opinions about the way you would use to get a good humidity level and a nice FAE in my homemade growroom.
My homemade growroom is similar to the one in the pictures but with two shelves for casings (one in the right and one in the left of the room, so I get access to both from the center of the room) .
The room is 1mx1mx2m
you can see the pictures in these links:

For FAE, you can either modify a coolmist with some tubing to lead into the room, or install a fan or two. For humidity, just put an ultrasonic on a timer in there.

Has to be the coolmist out of the room for good FAE?

Yeah, in order for the coolmist to provide FAE, it's got to be outside of the room, the purpose being that it'll take fresh air from outside of the room and transport it (and humidify it) into the grow room. You don't have to mess with the coolmist though. You'd be totally fine installing a couple of small fans in the room wall or something along those lines.
Either way, you need to transport fresh air from outside the room into the room.

Well the thing is, you don't even need a HEPA filter for your grow room. HEPAs are something that belong on gloveboxes and flowhoods. In grow rooms you'll have casings/cakes that are already fully colonized and very capable of fighting off contams themselves. You can have HEPA filters if you want, but HEPA filters are quite expensive. I'd advise just using some other sort of cheaper, easily replaced filter, to mainly act as a dust shield and nothing more. As for computer fans, I'm not sure how well they'll work because they're DC, aren't they? That means you'd need to run them on batteries, which is a pain in the ass. I'd use a fan that can easily be plugged into a regular wall socket.

if u have a traditional standing room fan, let that blow in fresh air for a little while for FAE. that could be a quick fix for now but i dont have any ideas for automated FAE.
u could use a coolmist for automated FAE and humidity. then u'll need a timer. good luck with that

Best way by far is to implement a coolmist for moist FAE's and a ultrasonic to maintain optimal RH for each stage of growth. The combo allows awesome fine tuning! Really!!!

Oyster Shell "Flour" $2 for 1lb. a hell of a deal Not what is overlay but rather what overlay is Gas Exchange vs. FAE "We all have priorities. I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"
