Calculate the ideal AC cooling capacity (BTU & Tonnage) for your room. Our tool considers room size, windows, sun exposure, and insulation to help you find the perfect air conditioner, ensuring efficient and comfortable cooling.
Formula:
BTU = (Room Area (sq ft) × Base Factor) + (People × 600) + (Windows × 1000) × Sun Exposure Factor × Insulation Factor
Tons = BTU / 12,000
Where:
- BTU: British Thermal Units, the cooling power.
- Room Area (sq ft): Length × Width.
- Base Factor: Initial BTU per square foot, adjusted by ceiling height.
- People: Each person adds approximate heat load.
- Windows: Each window adds approximate heat load.
- Sun Exposure Factor: Multiplier based on sunlight.
- Insulation Factor: Multiplier based on insulation quality.
