OK.. you live in hot country...
So you will be using AC for much of the year; right?
You could use a system like user SOG has designed...
It works like the ice box, but is bigger and way more efficient...
Hydro Innovations
So you have the fan, not connected to any ducting, drawing room air into the reflector... as the air exits the reflector, it passes through a radiator filled with cold water, which cools the air enough to turn the AC down or even shut it off sometimes...
There is an initial investment, but the ability to save on AC and help your crops by regulating temps is worth it in my opinion....
Here is SOG's set up...
With the res, the chiller and the radiator...

With a set up like that, and no need to exhaust for cooling, you become a prime candidate for a sealed room with CO2...
Run a small carbon filter to minimize some of the smell within the room...
I bet if you do it properly, You will cut down AC usage by 75% or more... saving a shitload in cooling electricity...
And although a chiller is not free... nor the power to run it, cooling water is just way more efficient than cooling air...
And your chiller could also be rigged to cool your res, if you were doing hydro...
This is just one way to do it... but it seems like a good one...
What are your thoughts?
Make sure to hit SOG up for some real world info... he is super cool...
Well, ball's on your court...
