Heat gain calculator, BTU / hour

Gain, in BTU/hr = (surface area / R) * temp diff

Cooling loads, interim case
Infiltration = cu. Ft. * R * air changes/hr * temp. diff

Insolation is not estimated and can be large so calcs are interim-case. Shading also
is not estimated and offsets insolation to some degree.
1 W = 3.41 BTU
1 person, seated, approx. = 100W = 341 BTU
