(OP)
Here I am on a small south pacific Island w/out access to Ashrae...what are the best practices for HVAC design here? I see a lot of seatting walls and rusting duct. Whats best: Alum duct, flex duct, sstl, corrosion restiant coatings on equipment. Its 89 deg and 80RH here most of the time.

Galvanized sheet metal for plenum and ducting!!For ducting, I would explore fibreglass tubing.
And about looking at past practices of indeginous people, they may offer alternative, cost effective and energy efficient solutions

Duct tape - of course.
Probably too humid for swamp coolers. But that will start you off until real HVAC becomes available.
