I have a split system AC unit that I want to try to incorporate into my new studio.
Can anyone see a problem with the air flow idea of this AC layout?
1. Split system cools the machine room
2. Fans in the machine room draw warm air from the ceilings of the booth and control rooms
3. Reduced pressure in booth and control rooms draw cool air in from the floor of the machine room
4. Fan on the outside of the building draws warm, stale air from the ceiling of the machine room
5. Reduced pressure in the machine room draws fresh air in from the outside
The dimensions aren't accurate. Nothing's to scale as I'm just trying to figure out the air flow first.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it's for cooling only. I'll probably have electric panel radiators for heating.
Will this AC idea work?

it should work, you need to consider any silencers needed to keep things quiet between rooms.
Glenn. You are a helpful chap! :D Thanks for that. Yes, I've tried to incorporate at least 2 x 90 degree turns in each duct and I'll probably case the ducts in drywall. More research to do on that, though. For now, the knowledge that the flow should work is enough to proceed. Maybe I'll run the exhaust from the control room directly to the machine room to avoid a connection between the control room and the booth.
