Generally speaking, how much temperature can an ambient enclosure account for? (self.3dprinting)

I'm getting into 3D printing, and due to the nature of my living constraints, I find myself with a large 12 ft x 20 ft non-climate controlled but clean shed from which to print. I bought one of these small microenvironment enclosures for my ender 3 pro, but temperatures here in the winter can reach the teens, and summers over 100 Fahrenheit. I guess my question is how much temperature can those micro enclosures account for when it's extremely cold on the outside?

You can add a heater to them. Aside from any airflow internal to the enclosure, if you're willing to put sufficient energy into climate controlling the enclosure, I expect that you could get it as close as you want to some idealized fixed temperature.
