Chitting first early pots.

I’ve taken delivery today and the advice is to chit in a cool environment which I don’t have. Our house has all rooms centrally heated 24/7 (due to wife’s medical condition) and my greenhouse is unheated and of late has dropped to 0 degrees C. Which of these only options would be best?
Thanks

    Put the potatoes in egg boxes in the greenhouse and lay bubble wrap over them when frosty weather is forecast.

    I agree with @Joyce Goldenlily re the greenhouse, but perhaps a sheet of fleece would be better than bubble wrap to keep down moisture  ?

    Not sure, just my instinct  :)

    As above … but in the centre of the greenhouse … away from the chill through the glass.
