   I hear that the batteries need to be replaced every few years.  And they are   
   not cheap.   
      
   And venting them (even when they are sealed) is critical in a household.

   Good forward thinking.   
      
   I was always impresed how much heat cattle manure generated in the barn.   
      
   So, a structure with cattle below and greenhouse above could be a nice   
   symbiotic relationship.
