Will the ac unit heat up the garage much?
I'm in Dallas and think about this type of build all the time.
Also, any moisture issues to worry about?

This may just be a crazy idea, but if you need to heat and cool, what about using large peltiers? The heat sink would be the hardest part since it would have to go through your wall and be well insulated. But it will heat or cool with the flip of of a switch.

So.......As I was opening a bottle of wine tonight it hit me. I will glue used corks on the inside of the door. It might take a while but from the research I have done the R value is comparable to the foam boards. It will be cosmetically appropriate for a wine cellar/beer fermentor and functional. hell I'll be recyling too.
Wouldn't it take a serious drinking.problem to finish that door? Lol still a cool idea.

This is our first summer here and so far the highest bill has been $235. 2500 sq ft house, two old AC units from 1995, 100 degree + days.
