The thermal load is given in BTU, which stands for, in English, British Thermal Unit (British Thermal Humidity) or in TR (Ton of Refrigeration). 1 TR is equal to 12,000 BTU's. STEP BY STEP FOR CALCULATING THERMAL LOAD: Step 1: Multiply the area of the room by 600 BTUs. Step 2: Add 600 BTUs for each person occupying the room, in reduced physical activity or 800 BTUs for each person occupying the room in high physical activity. Step 3: Add 600 BTUs for each electrical equipment that heats up. Step 4: Add at least 300 BTUs for each square meter of window frame that always opens and closes while the air conditioning unit is on. Step 5: Add up and final definition of the thermal load. NOTE: Other components that may influence the thermal load can be considered, such as materials that make up the walls, ceiling and floor; lamps, etc. For rooms with higher ceilings, the air conditioning flow rate must also be calculated, in addition to the thermal load.
