If you intend to circulate conditioned air onto the lanai, check with your A/C service people to be sure your unit has enough capacity. If not, you can add a unit. The only way to prevent mildew is dry air, and no dust/pollen for it to get started in. If you have acrylic windows, you may need to remove them in case of a hurricane warning. Many of the acrylic systems are not engineered for high wind resistance.
