ᐅ Air intake in a light well?

Hello,

we will install a ventilation system from Pluggit, which will be located in the basement.
The supply and exhaust air are planned to be routed through an opening in the basement wall that ends in a small light well. Is this a feasible approach? I am a bit concerned about the supply air coming in below ground level.
Also, it seems to me that the supply and exhaust air openings are quite close together.
Are there any regulations or guidelines that the construction company must follow regarding this?

Good luck,

But you don’t keep the windows open all day, right? You don’t need to completely replace the air 10 times a day.
I see this more as a general "problem" in winter, regardless of the mechanical ventilation system.
