It doesn't really affect air temp unless the tubs are small. So a pvc cage or something similar would work much better for maintaining the temperature of a classroom.
    x2 at least down here in Florida at my high school they didn't run the AC On the weekends (me being in marching band found that out the hard way 95+ degrees outside for 6-9 hours a day in the sun then coming inside to a super heated band room really sucks!) But during the week the school was kept in the mid 70's. This temperature swing would cause issues with a rack, even a super insulated PVC cage like what I use with a good thermostat would be pushings its limits.
