Heat Loss/Gain Calculations:

Given:

sq ft

1 Watt = 3.4 Btu


12000 Btu/Hr = 1 ton
Total surface area of walls = 600 + 600 + 1200 +1200 = 1980
Area of roof = 7200 sq ft
Total surface area of windows = 216 sq ft
Total area of doors = 1404 sq ft
Change in temperature = 11 degrees

Calculations:
R value for wall = 17.645
U factor = .0573

R value for roof = 9.37


U factor = .106

R value for door = 1.67 R value for window = 1.67


U factor = .5988
U factor = .5988
Transmission Load:
Q Wall = (1980)(.0573)(11) = 1247.994 Btu/Hr
Q Roof = (7200)(.106)(11) = 8395.2 Btu/Hr
Q Door = (1404)(.5988)(11) = 9247.86 Btu/Hr
Q Window = (216)(.5988)(11) = 1422.78 Btu/Hr
Total = 20313.8 Btu/Hr
Conclusion: Since a 1 ton cooling system supports 12,000 Btu/Hr, our
facility would require a two ton cooling system.
