Greenboard is supposedly designed for high moisture areas, although for
really high moisture areas like showers builders are now using
"wonderboard" which is a concrete product. Using an air conditioner will
reduce the humidity. You might want to increase the humidity, making the
area more like a cave, in which case the greenboard may be necessary.
Without added humidity I would doubt the need.
