Are you sure about that? I got a much higher number?
Until you sit down and review your room design, do calculations of all of the equipment that will be used and what BTU's that equipment puts out along with its heat discharge in relation to the room, you are just pulling numbers out of thin air really. An AC unit undersized wont help, a unit oversized will short cycle and wont help either. Just putting in my two cents, take it or leave it, but there are many factors to be considered that have not been discussed or offered about your room design and layout.

cool so I'm thinking 2 30,000 but mini splits? any recommendations?
Just be sure the 8 foot ceilings are going to work for you. And be sure 12 is not too much for your room size. Ive seen it where guys replaced with DE and get too hot.

In a 12,000 watt room, me personally I'd put a 24k btu on each wall. If one dies the others will have no problem keeping up. And will allow you to run whatever temps you'd like (some people like to drop lights on temp last few weeks to add color) in whatever weather you get (hot climates).

But two 36k would suffice. If one dies your screwed though.

Go for effecieceny if you don't mind having an HVAC tech install.
If going for stealth and DIY ideal air is the way to go. Easy to install, will need to be hard wired to power, and have good warranties.
