    To determine the appropriate size air conditioner for a room, you need to calculate the room's heat load by considering factors like its floor area, window size and placement, number of occupants, and heat generated by equipment and lighting. The document provides a table with suggested air conditioner sizes for typical room dimensions and situations, and also gives steps to calculate a room's total heat load in BTUs by quantifying each factor and adding them together. The resulting total heat load indicates the minimum cooling capacity needed from one or more air conditioner units.

    To get the most out of your room air conditioner, you'll need to consider the size of the unit

    that
    best suits your needs.

    The cooling capacity of room air conditioners is measured in British thermal units per hour, or
    Btu/h. To figure out the maximum cooling capacity for a room, you will first need to calculate
    the size of the room where the air conditioner will be placed. To do this, simply multiply the
    width of the room by the length of the room.

    To help you make a quick selection view our 'suggested air conditioners' table below.

    However if you would like further information on calculating your air conditioning
    requirements, click here.

    Note: you may need one or more air conditioning units to control your office climate depending
    on your total room size, i.e. if your room was 80 metres square, we would suggest that you use
    two 15,000 BTU air conditioning units and place a unit at either end of the room.

    Calculating your air conditioning requirements

    Heat Load

    The amount of heat generated is known as the heat gain or heat load. Heat is measured in either
    British Thermal Units (BTU) or Kilowatts (KW). 1KW is equivalent to 3412BTUs.

    The heat load depends on a number of factors, by taking into account those that apply in your
    circumstances and adding them together a reasonably accurate measure of the total heat can be
    calculated.

    Factors include:
    The floor area of the room
    The size and position of windows, and whether they have blinds or shades
    The number of room occupants (if any)
    The heat generated by equipment
    The heat generated by lighting

    Floor Area of Room
    The amount of cooling required depends on the area of the room. To calculate the area in square
    metres:

    Room Area BTU = Length (m) x Width (m) x 337

    Window Size and Position
    If, your room has no windows, you can ignore this part of the calculation. If, however there are
    windows you need to take the size and orientation into account.

    South Window BTU = South Facing window Length (m) x Width (m) x 870

    North Window BTU = North Facing windows Length (m) x Width (m) x 165

    If there are no blinds on the windows multiply the result(s) by 1.5.

    Add together all the BTUs for the windows.

    Windows BTU = South Window(s) BTU + North Window(s) BTU

    Occupants
    You will have to take that into account people who normally working in the space. The heat
    output is around 400 BTU per person.

    Total Occupant BTU = Number of occupants x 400

    Equipment
    Clearly most heat in a room is generated by the equipment. This is trickier to calculate that you
    might think. The wattage on equipment is the maximum power consumption rating, the actual
    power consumed may be less. However it is probably safer to overestimate the wattage than
    underestimate it.

    Equipment BTU = Total wattage for all equipment x 3.5

    Lighting
    Take the total wattage of the lighting and multiply by 4.25.

    Lighting BTU = Total wattage for all lighting x 4.25

    Total Cooling Required
    Add all the BTUs together.

    Total Heat Load = Room Area BTU + Windows BTU + Total Occupant BTU + Equipment BTU
    + Lighting BTU

    This is the amount of cooling required so you need one or more air conditioning units to handle
    that amount of heat.
