I used to think that way too but time has taught me that I can achieve the same outcome by making joint decisions (no pun intended) and I let her take all the credit,,,,easy-peazy-Japaneasy!great idea. Always remember with women its easier to ask forgiveness than permission.
It sounds like your tent is small enough that if you could somehow just get good air circulation, constantly move some closet air into adjoining rooms to be replaced by cooler 'fresh' air from the other rooms, any heat/humidity would likely not be noticeable in the house (but AC costs will go up).
You mention bringing in outside fresh air. Yes, good. But I presume there are good reasons why most indoor tents exhaust air to the outside (or into house if want heat) and just passively suck in room air. That works well for me. If you are connecting to the outside, consider that approach; or try to have both exhaust and input piping.
Logically, with any fan system you want some tent air temperature control. Fan speed control is only indirectly temp. control. Why not get a programmable outlet thermostat (usually also with timers and other functions) controlling the fan? I use a Lux WIN100, but I just saw there are now others costing only about $10. Relative to the set temperature, e.g, 80˚F, the fan comes one at 1˚F higher and turns off when 1˚F lower. Also, much quieter, with the fan only running as needed; and less outside (could be hot or cold) air being constantly sucked into the house.
