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?
