1. automatic roll up sides (I wrote an app that I could control them with my phone)
2. Ventilation fan with motor powered intake vents

#1 gets my vote. It is a lot easier to let the wind do your venting for you.

And I agree with Ricky, it's beautiful. My only suggestion would be more end wall openings. On a lot of days, you can just open those vents and not have to use the roll-up sides. You definitely want at least peak vents on the ends, so that the very hottest air does not get trapped under your plastic, which will weaken the life of it, as well as make your roll-up sides less effective.
