I recently constructed a building that has a 28 foot span, 12/12 pitch attic truss. I plan on building out the attic area for a small apartment. As is typical with an attic truss, there are 4 foot knee walls on the sides. The space is 16 x 36 (open area). Does anyone have any recommendations as to which way I should go for heating and cooling? I could use a small wall furnace and a window air conditioner although would prefer not to.

Thanks for the insights

Jerry

Ductless mini split would work great, or PTAC through the wall heat pump would also be a good choice with 576 sq.ft. 1.5 ton would do the job.

Mitsubishi Mr. Slim ductless split heat pump all the way! Those units are GREAT for space heating and cooling. I HIGHLY recommend it!
