Hey all,
I'm hoping someone can help me out, either with first-hand experience or perhaps theoretical. I am putting together a fully insulated (R30 in the vaulted roof, R15 in the walls) Tuff Shed with a loft, and want to install a Mini Split system. I'm trying to figure out if I need a 2 zone or if a single zone will be sufficient. The space is 10'x12' 120 sq ft. with a loft that will be about 80-95 sq. ft. If I install the Mini Split system head unit in the loft, will 9k BTU be sufficient to flow down to the bottom area? Or, should I install a dual-zone 9k+9k and have a head unit up in the loft and another below.
This is in the US, in the Southern California area with a zone rating of 3 (Hot/dry, 90-110f in the summer 30-50f winter)
The loft space will be connected with a compact stair case, or possible a latter, and will have an opening allowing the stairs/latter of about 4'x6' which would be the only avenue for air to reach the bottom floor if I were to install a single unit up in the loft.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
