It's a small, ductless, two piece air conditioning system (Heat Pump models
are also available).
The indoor unit hangs on the interior wall. It's connected to the outdoor
unit via a small hole in the wall to run the line set and control wiring.
Then you have the outdoor unit.
If you go to Goggle and type in "mini split", you will find as much reading
as you'd ever want on the subject. Like the link listed below.

Maybe it's me!!!! This is a wood shop, and you can't frame in
an opening for a window shaker.

Do not listen to stormy, he was recently released from the HVAC mental
institution and is delusional. Sorry Chris, I didn't want to have to let
everyone know, but you have been a very bad boy lately!

its you Barry. you're probably unaware of the huge number of wood
framed homes that have an inch+ of stucco covering the exterior of a
home / garage. I'll bet you also dont know that the stucco is applied
in three seperate coats, a scratch coat, a brown coat & a color coat.
personally, I thing a portable is the perfect application for this
situation.
