How to use it

  1. Calculate volume: 25m² × 2.6m = 65m³
  2. Factor orientación sur + insulation bueno: 50 BTU/m³
  3. Calculate BTU: 65m³ × 50 = 3250 BTU/h
  4. To m² method fast: 25m² × 600 BTU/m² = 15000 BTU/h
  5. Convert a toneladas: 15000 ÷ 12000 = 1.25 toneladas

Common mistakes

  • ⚠️ Dimensionar solo per m² without Consider height and orientación
  • ⚠️ Not prever capacity additional to techos with mucho sol
  • ⚠️ Instalar equipo sobredimensionado (cicla mucho, not deshumidifica bien)

Worked example

Calculate BTU for 30m2 room.

Habitación of {area_m2}m² with {height_m}m of height requires equipo of {btu} BTU/h ({toneladas} toneladas). power electrical: {power_kw} kW.
