Furthermore, how many BTUs is a degree Fahrenheit?
This number includes the specific heat (Cp) of air (0.24 BTU per pound per degree Fahrenheit). It takes 0.24 BTU of heat to change the temperature of one pound of air by one degree F. The 1.08 factor also contains the specific density of air (0.075 pounds per cubic foot).
Beside above, how many BTU do I need for a 20x20 room? Rule of thumb, of course. So the space you want to cool ( 20x20=400) should be doable wih a 1 ton (12,000 BTUH) unit. But I'd bump it up to a 15,000 - 16,000 BTUH to handle the hot, humid summer heat of your area.
Similarly one may ask, how many BTU do I need for a 12x12 room?
2. Find the correct cooling capacity for your room size
| Area To Be Cooled (square feet) | Capacity Needed (BTUs per hour) |
|---|---|
| 100 up to 150 | 5,000 |
| 150 up to 250 | 6,000 |
| 250 up to 300 | 7,000 |
| 300 up to 350 | 8,000 |
How many square feet will a 12000 BTU air conditioner cool?
550 square feet
