Installing a chiller may help alleviate this issue by mechanically cooling vs evaporative cooling. In NEOH, its kind of a waste though unless your house gets really hot. No matter what, you will still have evap, especially in winter when you ambient humidity is lower.

I agree with the suggestions of the others. The cons outweigh the negatives in most cases as you will drastically reduce gas exchange.
