This is correct. The exhaust room will be taking that stripped O2 resulting in a hyper oxygenated room. We didn't seal this room so I'm not sure how well it maintained higher o2 levels... come to think of it cant believe I never measured, and it could've been placebo, but I always thought it felt pretty good to be in there.
Altitude tents don't really work so I wouldn't bother with them. If you want the benefits of altitude you will need to move to a city/town that is at altitude and live there.
They don't work? Why not? It's my understanding you need to spend a lot of time in there (like 14-15 hours a day) so doing your whole house - like Rupp did (does he still live in an altitude house?) - makes more sense.
I pitched a tent a few times at altitude and my running didn't improve.
I had a friend who built a hypoxia chamber. He used to exercise in it. You adjust the oxygen content.
He did it on the cheap and his group used to use it. Cost him $15 K australian and got some of the equipment second hand.

Sorry rojo, you're understanding is incorrect. You need to live at altitude 24/7 for an extended period of time to reap the benefits of altitude.
