Uplighting.....on the left is traditional from the floor. On the right is shooting from the ceiling, 45 degree angle, 10 foot throw. Which do you prefer, tight column or paint more wall space?
Thanks guys. I think if I move about 6 feet closer the wall it should be perfect. Btw, I installed 2 24000btu window units and you wouldn’t believe how good it’s working. It’s high 80s and full sun outside and inside it’s almost cold. 4-6 of the units should be plenty for cooling. Very pleased.
Add the fact that doors will be opening and closing, 100 warm bodies, etc. better to have too much and turn them down/off, than not enough.WOW... 24,000 BTU units are pretty powerful. I don't think you would need 6 of them for a 40 x 80 foot space. One 24K BTU AC unit cools up to 1,500 sq feet efficiently. You have 3,200 sq feet. Two units is right at the cusp of what you need. You could probably install a 10,000 BTU AC unit in addition to those two, and you would be set for that venue.
Then again, it probablt gets VERY HOT in that rural area of the south in the Summer time...and your ceiling height is high in the middle of the venue. Maybe 2 more 10 to 14K AC UNITS should do the trick. Four 24K btu units will probably cool that space down real fast.

I think I would have gone with mini-split ductless so you have heat and cool.
I agree, but our places have both .. in the South, if you want a 12 month facility, you need both as well.Yeah, but considering he is in the far south. ...The only months of then year where heat would be needed are like December, January, February, and half of March. ...Late November, the body heat can likely keep the space tolerable, and same goes for 2nd half of March.
Where you live, it is like the direct opposite.

I think Rick said it was insulated.I'm pretty sure the building has no insulation, so even the AC units are going to be struggling once we're into the summer months. The electric bill is going to be crazy high, too.

I still say go with some sort of DMX controller so you (or the manager) has to go around and change every one each time.
