Moving next year; new place will either have a garage or the room to build one. Was wondering about remote start & carbon monoxide - how do you ventilate a garage, while still keeping it sealed from the elements? I've read that people have died from carbon monoxide when their remote car starter went off & ended up running for an extended period of time:

I have seen aftermarket garage heaters, like from Modine, so you could keep the garage heated in the winter if you're doing workshop stuff, which would take care of cold air from the ventilation system:

Anyway, what's the best approach for that? It'd be nice to remote start the car on cold mornings in the garage to warm it up, without having to have a heater running and without filling up the air with unventilated exhaust fumes. Is that even doable without an active air exchange system?
