Just a hot weather tip for green growers, we use our old cooler that just has an AC, to make a germination chamber for cool weather micro greens and lettuce, take out of the dark chamber after germination and put in shaded hoophouse for further growing, not everything works but most do.

I would add for those with normal walkins on slabs. . . you HAVE to insulate the floor, preferably below the concrete.  We are running two A/C united tied into one cool bot (foil the thermostats together) and maintain 39-42 degrees with a 12x13' cooler w/ crappy panels and rigged up door.  Doing it from scratch I would buy a enclosed freezer box (+R value) with floor (and good door) and save myself a lot of hassle and electricity.
