It seems that everyone has not considered the potentially very large energy expense of air conditioning indoor miners.

If you keep miners indoors then you will run your air conditioning unit incrementally more often to counteract the heat production of the mining equipment.  AC units run BIG AMPS which sucks a ton of power so to get a true daily profit or loss expectation this cost needs to be accurately quantified and implemented in every mining profitability calculator.

It's very probable that many people are mining at what they THINK is a daily profit but in reality could be a big daily loss.  Anyone ever run some studies to try to quantify this incremental AC cost?
