Abstract
A method of providing ventilation for an enclosed space includes detecting, by a controller including one or more processing devices, an operation of a door to the enclosed space in response to receiving a first signal indicative of an electrical characteristic of a motor that operates the door to the enclosed space. The method further includes generating, by the controller responsive to detecting the operation of the door, a control signal configured to operate a ventilation system to exhaust air from within the enclosed space to an environment outside of the enclosed space. The method also includes transmitting the control signal to cause an activation of the ventilation system.
