Those factors need to be added to the m² x 600 rule of thumb.Any technician will start with the idea of a normal room with 1 door and 1 window.When you build a glass box for sure other rules apply.

I don't think that makes sense

I think you mean would I like to post the best method of calculating the BThU needed?

Google it, plenty of sites with full explanation

aircon size calculator

mind you, they work it out using the square metres, not cubic metres, so if you have a very tall room you need to add a bit more

escaped, your concept of the sizing of airconditioners is severly flawed.

strangely enough, the number of windows, the amount of power being used in the room and the location of the room, as well as its function are all factored into the calculation.

I'd also like to add that the number of people frequenting the room be a part of the equation.

There is no way on earth that someone can multiply the square metres of a prospectiove a/c installation by 600 & arrive at an 'accurate' answer unless they are;

1] Thai.
2] Complete imbeciles.
3] In no way consider other heat creating factors.

You really need to learn about a/c before you announce such rubbish.
