Might not be legal. Cities can have so many rules about residential structures these days that it is nearly impossible to meet them all without getting contractors involved! No telling what rules they have about a residential space attached to a barn...
Heck, in my city there are laws saying what the minimum temperature in your home is required to be during the day and during the night, and laws stating that you cannot have ANY habitable room of the house at a lower temperature at any time. (Uh, okay....do they want to pay my heating bill?) They are regulating every aspect of our lives...
That is probably to protect renters who do not have control over their heating/cooling. Imagine, if you will, renting a room or apartment or duplex, or even a house and discovering htat the landlord provides no heat in a Michigan or Maine like winter, or no cooling during a Texas or Arizona like summer.
