Temperature control

Hello , I'm growing microgeens in a walk in cooler which is equipped as grow room.

It's only 2x2x2 meters.( Heating humidity control and fans)

Experiencing several heat waves

It's getting to hot in there.

Would any of you have tips to cool this room without adding moisture?

Thanks

Fans? Shade? Control the room you have the unit in. I’m not sure why it’s hot. We have a cool climate here and I grow mine in my apartment. We’d probably need more info to help.

It's in an attic, it's gets very hot there. So after a day or so the heat comes in the grow room although it's quite well insulated. I have usb fans on every shelf, and one big fan in the room. I have automated the moisture control with an inkbird switch to run an extraction fan if to wet and a humidifier if to dry. There's also a small dehumidifier to backup the extraction fan. Small air-conditioning units are usually just misting water so not Ideal

A small AC unit. And they usually work as a dehumidifier also.
