SECTION # 1:
RULES OF THUMB
AIR-CONDITIONING CAPACITY 1) A ton of refrigeration (1TR) signifies the ability of air-conditioning equipment to extract heat @ 12000 Btu/hr. ASHARE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers, Inc) has put together a table using national average data showing the Sq-ft/Ton as follows:
Sq-ft/Ton High Average Low
Residential Office
3)
600 360
500 280
380 190
Each building is different and the design conditions differ greatly between regions to region. Factors to consider when figuring the sq-ft/ ton ratio include:
Search ThisClimate conditions (design temperatures) Document
Search Expansive use of glass-particularly in the south and west orientations Search History: High ceilings-increasing the conditioned volume of the space Searching... Outside air requirements-especially important in high occupant load areas like conference Result 00 ofrooms and classrooms. 00 Heat generating 00 results for result for equipment example computers, copiers, laser printers, big screen TVs
etc.
p.
Lighting-especially the extensive use of incandescent and metal halide lights. Fluorescent lights are more efficient and burn cooler-however; their ballasts generate a fair amount of heat.

In general air-conditioning requirements are higher (200 to 400 sq-ft/Ton) for hot & humid regions and lower (150 200 sq-ft/Ton) for cooler places.
Note: The figures above indicative only. It is recommended to always generate a detailed heating and cooling load calculation (such as using Manual J) for the building or space in question.
AIR CONDITIONER CAPACITY RANGES
The application and unit capacity ranges are as follows:

1) 2) 3)
Room air conditioner - Capacity ranges 0.5 to 2 TR per unit, suitable for an area of not more than 1000 square feet Packaged unit integral air-cooled condenser - Capacity ranges 3 to 50 TR, suitable for a maximum an area of 1000 10000 square feet Split system with outdoor air-cooled condenser - Capacity ranges 0.5 to 50 TR, suitable for an area of 100 10000 square feet

Central air-conditioning chilled water system with air cooled condensers Capacity ranges of 20 to 400 TR, suitable for an area of 4000 sq-ft and higher Central air-conditioning chilled water systems with outdoor water cooled condenser - Capacity ranges 20 to 2000 TR, suitable for an area of 4000 sq-ft and higher.
COOLING CAPACITY SELECTER FOR HOMES
Air conditioners are sized by cooling capacity in BTU's per hour. To estimate the optimum capacity for any room, first calculate the size of the area to be conditioned by multiplying its width times its length, measured in feet. Then select the cooling capacity needed using the table below, The BTU's associated with the square footage will give an approximate optimum for the space.
Room Area
Square Feet
Cooling Capacity (BTU range)
10X15 10X20 15X20 17X20 18X25 22X25 25X28 25X32 25X34 25X40 27.5X40 35X40 37.5X40 40X40
150 200 300 340 450 550 700 800 850 1000 1100 1400 1500 1600
up to 5200 6000 7500 8000 10000 12000 14000 15000 16000 18000 20000 24000 28000 32000
Notes to using the table above Cooling capacities are based on rooms occupied by two people and having average insulation, number of windows, and sun exposure. To adapt the table for varying conditions, modify the capacity figures as follows: Reduce capacity by 10% if area is heavily shaded. Increase capacity by 10% for very sunny areas. Add 600 Btu/hr for each additional person if area is occupied routinely by more than two people. Add 4000 Btu/hr if area to be cooled is an average size kitchen. Add 1000 Btu/hr for every 15 sq/ft of glass exposed to sun. Add 3414 Btu/hr for every 1000 watts of electronic equipment.
