As you can see in the photos we have a very large attic storage room. Our house is cooled with a high velocity SpacePak central air conditioning mini duct system. Most HVAC contractors would want to lay a central duct down the center of the house and pull the room branches directly off the trunk. I made it a point to discuss with the HVAC contractor the importance of maintaining our new storage rooms floor space. To achieve the space that I wanted he ran a main trunk around the perimeter of the finished space just inside the trusses as you can see. With this layout we were able to keep the entire floor space open for storage.
The other detail that I’d like to point out is the support of the air handler.
