Ambient Temp in relativity to CO2 Levels

so my new rooms are configured, everything is set to go. my aero tubes are constructed, all my lights are hung, everything is good. but i have one question, since i am supplementing CO2 over 1200ppm the temperature in my room can safely raise into the 80's without alarm, but will adding the CO2 change the optimal ambient temperature? most people like their rooms around 70ish with standard 400ppm outside air

so 130 views and no one has some input, i'll try asking in other semi related threads but there was no specific one dealing with CO2 - temp relation

I think you'd need a CO2 user to confirm it but I don't believe adding CO2 will effect any change in temperature. I know the gas comes out cold but it is dispersed pretty quickly. Run your room for an hour or two make note of temperatures before adding CO2, I doubt there will be any change.

I have heard of people raising temperature when they add co2.
Luckily, with CO2 you must keep the temperature much hotter than normal, which helps you deal with the heat from lights in a sealed area without ventilation. However, if your sealed grow area still gets too hot from your lights, one option is to seal your hood and hook it up to the exhaust. In other words, after you’ve sealed your light, you can set up an intake and exhaust fan to blow air cool over the lights and have an exhaust fan vent out the hot air without also venting out all your CO2. Another option is to invest in an air conditioner.
