I am in the process of opening a dog boarding facility in Atlanta, GA. We have an area in the back of a warehouse that has 16ft. ceilings and is 900 square feet. There are also 3-10’ roll-up doors. I have attached a rough sketch. It essentially acts as a buffer between the outside, where the dogs will be playing, and the inside, which has full HVAC.
The area does have electricity & is insulated but does not have HVAC. I know with rollup doors being open most of the day that it would cost a fortune to keep the room at a comfortable temp.
My question: what is the most cost-effective way to keep the temperature bearable during the warm and cold months? I have been looking at HVLS fans for cooling but I wasn’t sure if anyone else had any suggestions. Also, I have no idea what to do to heat the room in the colder months.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
