No heat is required: All that is required is that the air is not saturated

It's simple physics, if you remove water by saturating or increasing the
RH of a volume of air you either provide heat at 2.3MJ/kg of water
vapourised or the air temperature drops.
Yes, but that happens naturally with *very* modest ventilation. The
latent heat of evaporation of a few kliograms of water is not exactly
massive..
I shall not comment on the your further naive assumptions about kiln
drying.
Whats up with you anyway?
Wrong time of the month?
