If the clothes dryer is in the basement :
There is a PVC " Y" valve made, that fits the dryer exhaust. I believe it was intended to allow the dryer exhaust to be vented into the basement to heat, and "moisturize" the basement in the winter, and vented to the exterior during warmer weather.
There was one inline in the dryer exhaust hose/pipe, when I moved in, and I used it, "in reverse", to connect either the dryer exhaust, or the spray booth vent to the through foundation vent fitting. Been using it for years now.
Just a thought.
Although that is a fantastic idea, it has already been ruled out by his wife who thinks that the one time we forget to switch it, all the whites will be in the dryer...!
