You shouldn't experience any sweating if indeed the door and glass are both insulated. My cellar and home temps are nearly identical to yours, I'm in LA, so we both have lots of humidity.

You do want to make sure that the seals on the door are done well, intact and functioning properly, and that the door contacts the seals evenly on all faces and at the threshold when it is closed.

Are you installing a split A/C system or a split refrigeration system to cool your room?
