It gets up to 82 degrees in there.. i've actually closed off the heat
vents.. i could open the window, but i'd have to do some configuring
for burglary proofing etc.. i'd prefer the automated solution if one
existed... perhaps the hole in the wall may work, but i'm not very
adept at that..

You can buy small fans that would take up only a portion of the window.
Mount it into a wood frame and it can then be secured for safety. At 82, it
is just warm and if cold outside you'd only need a small air exchange to get
down to the 60's.

Your room is about 1150 cubic feet. Get a fan that moves 100 cfm and you
have a complete air change every 10 minutes or so. A bathroom ventilator
can do that or a small box fan from the discount store.
