Shipping containers can come insulated. They use a 2 lb closed cell foam which is an incredible insulation and water proofing product. R-21 at 3" thickness. You can heat the container with a candle and cool it with an ice cube.

Humans give out a fair bit of heat. I seriously doubt an ice cube will cool any small room that contains a human.

That's what I was thinking too. You have to have decent air exchange with the outside or you're going to suffocate or poison yourself.
