I think it's important to consider what type of orchids you plan to grow. This basement area may be ideal for cool growing orchids as it is with no heat at all. But, if you plan on growing warm to hot growing orchids it could be too cool. Lights will heat this area some but you will need to find out what the temperatures will be like without heat before determining what you need.
You will also want all electrical devices in this area to be on a groung fault circuit since water and high humidity will be involved.
