 thermal "igloo"

i got a tent in an uninsulated building that stays outside temp year round. i inverted a tub with lights inside of it, i have it on chains so i can control how warm it gets by how much they're covered, and have a space heater in the tent. last night it got down to 22' F but my igloo didnt drop below 70. I was just shocked it worked, has anyone ever thought of this? I was just proud cause i never read about it or anything. And maybe I'm crazy but i cant upload .jpeg files? so i'll be working on a photo soon. Oh and outside the tub inside the tent is constantly about 50 degrees.

Well i'm hopin ac isn't necessary the heat holdin at 70 is all thanks to a space heater. I have a 6 inch inline fan/filter that is more than enough to replace the air in there 3 times per minute. this is all my hopes, as my first grow was all outdoors and I only had to water it. So im learning as I go

How hot does it get in the summer time where you are? And do you know how hot it gets in the building you are growing in? You might wanna at least keep an eye out for a window air conditioner or something just to be prepared if it does get hot around or inside that building.
