What the hell? An indoor/outdoor system costs less than $1k on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-Ductless-INVERTER-Conditioner-110~120/dp/B00E9I9I4S/ref=sr

  These things always have the worst remotes.

  In an apartment building, installation is going to cost you more than the actual unit. You need to run fairly heavy hoses to the condenser. You also aren't going to put a fleet of little one-ton units on the roof, so you're looking at much larger central condensers or possibly cooling towers for chilled water (which often ends up cheaper for large installations but requires more space).

    You also aren't going to put a fleet of little one-ton units on the roof Sure you are! Or, well, you could. I lived in Chicago condo that had 20 or so one-per external units on the roof. Some arguments in favor of this approach here: http://buildingscience.com/documents/digests/bsd-110-hvac-in-multifamily-buildings http://buildingscience.com/documents/digests/bsd-110-hvac-in...

    Huh...have you traveled to other parts of the world? Look at an apartment building in Japan or China, those are all over the wall and is the de-facto AC solution. Really, installation takes less than an hour and the rest of the world think Americans are bizarre with the window units.
