They used to get quite hot in the summer, even in the UK.

What about the insulation? Would it not make a nice nest for all sorts of creepy crawlies and reptiles? Would need to be well sealed. And rust proofed.

Have a look at this. These have been built for accomadation purposes:

I agree with that. Cooling is essential. Water cooling works. Just need a pump, a source of cool water and some integral pumbing. For when you cant run an AC. And protection from direct sunlight.
