Now on with the construction thought process:
I figured if I could create a box that could hold temperature you know like a thermos or refrigerator) then I could pretty easily provide it with suitable temperature air as needed. My thought was to have a large blower so that I could pull as much, or more, temperature controlled air from a living space, then if needed, I could either cool or heat the box supplementally needed.
I started testing this box when it was quite hot outside, and in the attic, since the air source for the box came from an air conditioned room the box internal temperatures stayed between 70 and 80 degrees.
Now that is cold outside and in the attic, again, since the air source is coming from a living space, but now that air is heated air, the box intrernal temperatures are staying between 65 and 80.
I found that the slower I run the blower the warmer the box is. There is a circulating fan in the box blowing on the plants, so long as there is some fresh air being introduced, the plants get plenty of air movement and enough fresh co2 and oxygen, so all is well.
I think I am getting a little ahead of myself though...
