Anonymous Poster	Air conditioning kWh 03/16/2009 6:32 PM
	I'm doing a survey on air-conditioning. If the thermostat setting is 19 degrees C and the surrounding temperature is 30 degrees C. I need to find the energy in kWh to achieve that temperature. Assuming I have a 1 ton AC = 3.5KW please assume ideal conditions, dry air etc. Room dimensions would be consistent with the 1 ton AC.

	How big is the space? How well insulated is it? How many air changes per hour to it are there? What other heat loads are there inside it? How much solar gain is there? How does it compare to other vernacular installations? What happens overnight? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
