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.

What is "seatting walls"?
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

If direct exposure to the sun can be avoided, plastic spring-wire-wrapped tubing seems lightest, easiest to compress and ship with the smallest shipping size for ducting.
Duct tape - of course.
Probably too humid for swamp coolers. But that will start you off until real HVAC becomes available.
