Summer ventilation

I was think ahead of this season and planning for summer for the greenhouse and I have a question. I was reading up on wall mounted exhaust fans with louvers to keep the greenhouse cool during winter. I was wondering, is a fan like this necessary? I have a 10 by 12 greenhouse made of polycarbonate with 4 vents, could I just open up the four vents and use a powerful floor fan to cool the greenhouse? I also planned on installing four bayliss XL autovents to monitor the vents while I am away for a little during the winter, will a floor fan set up on a thermostat cause the autovents to cool down and shut the vents while it is actually hot inside? And if anybody has bayliss XL autovents installed in a 10x12 HFGH, I would love to hear your experience about it and if it fits on right.

This is the fan I was looking at, it has 2000 cfm
