Anyone with a dedicated herp room may be able to help me.

This is a basic breakdown of my problem.

My herp room is a basement room. In the summer when the air conditioning is on in the house the room stays at a nice 72-75 degrees. The lights on the enclosures help bring the ambient cage temps to right where I need them. My under tank heating is controlled by a thermostat and is constant.

When it starts to cool down outside and the a/c stops running or if we have to turn the heat on in the house my herp room temperatures quickly become too hot. In past years it hasn't been so bad but now I have several more enclosures and I have recorded a max room temp. of 82.

I have reduced some lighting and am running a fan and that has helped a little but the room is still uncomfortable to be in.

There is no window in that room, but the laundry room has a basement window. I was thinking of modifying a window fan to push outside air into the room and out a vent. I could control the fan with a thermostat. Is this a good solution?
