Thanks for the suggestion. Haven't talked with a florist yet, but I spoke
with an SRC criminal who told me a 12x16' outdoor unit would cost $7500
plus about $2400 more for installation, which didn't include any electrical
work. He said "drop in units" with one-piece coolers that slipped in a wall
were about 15% more expensive... 

He said the walls were 4" thick, but he didn't know what their R-value was,
and the low-velocity coil provided humidity by "moving air in a **circular**
pattern" inside the box. He said occasional door openings prevented excess
humidity, and mentioned their units usually come with no floor, because
"a cement slab is a good thermal insulator." I hung up after he cautioned
against installing a unit on a wood floor, because "cement is a much better
insulator."
