How to capitalize on my cool basement during summer?

Its not groundbreaking knowledge that basements stay cool year round.


Can I add a return vent in the ductwork of my unfinished basement to help pull air from it to my upper two floors?


Perhaps one that I can easily close in the winter?


Also, close my fresh air intake by maybe half to help prevent sucking in 90 degree air?


Any advice will be appreciated!


Edit - I live in Ohio FWIW. System is your standard heat pump with aux heat. Return vents on both upper floors. Fresh air intake next to my patio.
