How do you keep it cool?

I have a setup like this, and I can tell you that you will need 2-3 times as many fans to stop the mold that will form. Also you will want to plastic in the bottom or you will have moisture on your floor. If you do plastic the bottom you will need to find a way to cool it otherwise there will be heat buildup in the system, especially in the summer9if they're warm).

On another note. What are you growing inside the greenhouse.

A fan

Intermediate to highland nepenthes but these are easy to grow

mold does not form on sphagnum moss (at least i have never seen it, and i keep some moss in containers with 0 airflow)

The mold will form on the walls and the racks of the greenhouse.

I don't know what's the concern it's not even wet in there

If you are growing highland neps or almost any carnivorous plant you will have elevated humidity(60-80% humidity.) Humidity is all mold needs to take hold, and once it does it's nearly impossible to get rid of it. Take it from someone who had o throw their first mini greenhouse away due to mold issues. Now I run 4 fans inside my new greenhouse, which doesn't allow any condensation to build on the walls (unless my humidity controller starts acting up.)

I got it

That's odd... I never had any problems with mold in my mini greenhouse and I have no air flow in there whatsoever. the humidity is always around 80% in there and it gets pretty warm, since its kind of a low land set up.
