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.
As an example only, provided for informational purposes only,
and results are not to be construed other than recommendations only.
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.
