AirConditioningInControlRoomOrVocalBooth??

I've heard from some HVAC people that it is possible to put a standard room air conditioner in an attic window and duct the cool air to another part of the building, thus leaving the noise of the A/C unit in the attic where it surely belongs and the cool air in your studio where it belongs for a fraction of the cost of a central air unit. You would route a small amount of the cool air to the air conditioners thermostat using a small duct line and then fine tune that until you get a comfortable studio temperature. Sounds good in theory yes, but several HVAC people have said it will work provided your duct work (whats coming in and whats going out) is of the correct size.
Does anyone know of anyone who has done this and what kind of results thev've had?
Or... has anyone heard of any successful alternatives to central air units?? (I just don't have the money these days)

Your biggest challenge will probably be the noise of the unit itself and the mechanical vibration. You would need to absorb the vibrations and have a pretty well soundproofed room.

I think your best bet would be to put spaces between your words in the thread topic
