Hi John,
Thanks for the info. I think the temperature management issue will be the toughest one to overcome. I'm hoping that the current ventilation plans along with the the 50mm interior insulation and heat reflective paint will do the job.
If I up needing to go with an AC unit, I'm only going to worry about the walled off end section where the important stuff will live. It will occupy a space of ~14 sqm. From what I can make out, I would need about 10,000 BTU per hour to keep the temp at an acceptable level (say, below 35 deg c on a hot summers day).
There are portable units out there that go up to 15,000 BTU but I guess we'll just have to wait & see how it all works out.

Cheers

Matt
