I had humidity problems in my detached, fully insulated garage last year during winter (after I dry walled and painted) so I installed a Wiz Vent. You can order them online or through Home Hardware here:

It’s a Wiz Vent with a different name/sticker on it. Drill a hole, install the unit and plug it in, its super easy. Set the humidity level in winter/summer (it has both settings) and it takes care of all the moisture in my 22’x22’ garage no problem. I also leave the garage door cracked on chinook days to really dry it out in the winter. Doing a humidistat and bathroom vents works just as well (and maybe cheaper) but I wasn’t going to rip drywall out after just finishing it.
