How to estimate cooling capacity for a given room :

Step 1

Find the volume of your room in cubic feet. This is done by measuring the length, width
and height of the room in feet and multiply all the three dimensions together.

Volume = Width X Length X Height (cubic feet)

Step 2

Multiply this volume by 6.

C1 = Volume X 6

Step 3

Estimate the number of people (N) that will usually occupy this room. Each person
produces about 500 BTU/hr of heat for normal office-related activity. Multiply this two
figures together.

C2 = N x 500 BTU/hr

Step 4

Add C1 and C2 together and you will get a very simplified cooling capacity needed for
the room.

Estimated Cooling Capacity needed = C1 + C2 (BTU/hr)
