Please note:
-
If the room is heavily shaded, reduce capacity by 10%.
-
If the room is very sunny, increase capacity by 10%.
-
If more than two people regularly occupy the room, add 600
Btu/Hr for each additional person.
-
If the unit is for a kitchen, increase capacity by 4,000 Btu/Hr.
-
For each server add 1200-1500 BTU's.
-
For each UPS add 800-1000 BTU's.
Cooling can be a factor of heat, space, and amount of heat
generating equipment in a room. Cooling is expressed in BTU's or British
Thermal Units. Air conditioning equipment is usually expressed in tons,
i.e., a one ton air conditioner. One ton of air conditioning is equal to
12,000 BTU's.

A room that is 10' x 10' x 8' is 800 cubic feet. 800 cubic feet
multiplied by a factor of 5 cubic feet for computers, servers, etc.,
equals 4,000 BTU's.
