I'm passing this along from Michael Timmons mentioned in the article, a former professor of mine.

Hello everyone (I was quoted in the article). The use of the term 'indoor' is actually not relevant. A RAS can be located indoors or outdoors. The key on the RAS is that the water is recycled (in a loop) that returns 99% of the water to the system instead of discharging the water from the system into a receiving body of water (or sewer system). Placing indoors in a 'cold' environment is beneficial for heat loss control.
