I am going to be converting my 3-season sunroom to a 4-season sunroom. My 3-season room is built on an existing deck. I would run the ducts from the basement through the wall and under the deck and up to the registers.

Can you advise on the size ducting and how many runs I need?

The room is 16 x 14 with cathedral ceilings.

Thanks,
Jeff

I agree, you need a dedicated system just for the sunroom addition. Your current hvac unit will NOT cover the area for the heating/cooling load it will add.

have you thought about a split system there are a few good ones out there we have installed them and they are quiet and low cost

While I'm no big fan of mini splits, You don't want to steal a ton of air from your house to cool that green house.

A minisplit may fit the bill.
