I recommend getting some additional air circulation permenantly. Good air circulation is important in preventing a number of fungal and insect problems and is highly beneficial to the health of the plant. The vast majority of orchid species are constantly bathed in nice fresh air in thie native habitats and the hybrids we derive from these species fare best when they have lots of fresh air.
I grow most of my orchids indoors and I have one 16-inch oscillating fan and 2 small "bun" fans (about 6 inches) going constantly. When you step into the room you feel a slight breeze. As a result I have almost no fungal or insect problems with around 400 plants.
