Hello everyone,
I have set up a workshop in an old agricultural barn and am now looking for a good solution for heating and dehumidification.
The floor area is 32m2 (344 square feet) with a ceiling height of 3m (9.8 feet).
Two walls are exterior walls made of 36cm (14 inches) brick, and the two interior walls are constructed with OSB panels and 10cm (4 inches) insulation.
In winter, the room temperature has never dropped below 0°C (32°F) so far.
I only want to heat the workshop when I am working inside, and preferably heat it up quickly. However, I don’t need it to reach 21°C (70°F)...
What worries me more is the humidity... Currently, I have 81% relative humidity...
This is not acceptable for my machines and tools.
For heating, I could imagine using an air conditioning unit...
Would that work well combined with decentralized ventilation to control humidity?
Perhaps someone has similar requirements and can share experience or recommendations.
Best regards,
Tom

If you only use it occasionally and have smaller tools, I would recommend a heated insulated cabinet for the tools and a wood stove for the times when you want to use the workshop. This can be complemented by a fan.

Here is the request again without the link...
Thank you in advance for your answers.
I will initially approach the topic by using an air conditioner for heating.
To the professionals in this field…
Is there anything speaking against or in favor of the following unit?
Daikin Sensira split air conditioner FTXC35C
The workshop is not used daily. The goal is to maintain the temperature at the necessary minimum...
