Additional
conditions:

If average occupancy of area is more than two people, add 600 Btu/hour per person. If average is one person, subtract
600 Btu/hour.
Add 1200 Btu/hour if area includes a kitchen.
If room is heavily shaded, subtract 10 percent from capacity. Increase capacity by 10 percent if area is very sunny.
Note: For best results, select a room air conditioner with cooling capacity (Btu/hour rating) closest to, but not exceeding,
estimated size.
