look forward to seeing a working model.
The Peltier junctions are terribly inefficient.You might have to piggy-back them ,where each is rejecting heat to the one downstream.
Or run an inverter to power a wall-mounted water cooling fountain compressor/heat exchanger/etc. to create chilled water enough to handle the 300-400 Btu's/hour basal metabolic heat load.
