Mark, wish I could help you, but my little greenhouse has devolved into a winter storage shed!! I do use it for about a month in the spring to help harden off flats of seedlings, mainly to keep the cold north wind off them.
That is a lovely piece of growing equipment, and it will probably serve you very well. The shady side would work very well for lettuce and other greens, and also for hardening off flats before they can face the full sun. Remember that "outside shade" is still a lot more light than "inside plant lights". You could probably partition off a smaller area for heating and get plants out quite early. I routinely keep forty or fifty flats alive even at -2 C (?~28 F) simply by covering with a piece of Reemay/row cover/frost blanket and the use of a very small/very old electric heater on those nights when frost threatens in May.
Good luck in your search for information, but remember that experimentation is also useful!
