Measure the area of the room and convert that figure into BTU's.

The area of the room is


determined by multiplying the length and width. The measurement must be in meters, (1
foot equals .3048 meters). Multiply the area by 337 to figure out the area BTU.
Room BTU = Length x Width x 337
If there are north or south-facing windows in the location, calculate the BTU for each
window by measuring the area of each. For north-facing windows, multiply the area by
165. For south-facing windows, multiply the area by 870. If you live in the Southern
Hemisphere, reverse the calculations (165 for south, 870 for north)
Calculate the BTU of the number of people who use the location. Multiply the
occupants by 400 for the BTU.
Any equipment in the room needs to be measured for their BTU output. To determine the
output, multiply the total wattage for the equipment by 3.5.
Determine the lighting BTU by multiplying total wattage for the lighting by 4.25.
Add the figures from steps one through five. The result is your total heat load.
Multiply this number by two to determine the amount of cooling required.
Convert your heating and cooling load to tons by dividing the BTUs by 12,000. The
resulting figure is the HVAC tonnage.

Live each present moment completely and the future will take care of itself. Fully enjoy
