I do if the door is closed when the light is on. I try to keep it open during the day and closed at night to let humidity build up.

I also deliberately do not keep cooler-weather species like phrags, unfortunately! I stick to warm-loving species just in case I'm away with the door closed. My cat messes with the plants so the door is closed when I am not here to keep an eye on things.

I have also installed a bathroom type fan in the room to vent nasty air in the summer when it gets too damp. I can run it for heat removal when I am away as well if need be.
