Calculation Steps

1

Calculate Sensible Load

Formula:

Q_{sensible} = N \times Q_{sensible,per person}

Calculation:

Q_{sensible} = 10 \times 230

Result:

2300.00 \text{ BTU/hr}

2

Calculate Latent Load

Formula:

Q_{latent} = N \times Q_{latent,per person}

Calculation:

Q_{latent} = 10 \times 200

Result:

2000.00 \text{ BTU/hr}

3

Calculate Total Load

Formula:

Q_{total} = Q_{sensible} + Q_{latent}

Calculation:

Q_{total} = 2300.00 + 2000.00

Result:

4300.00 \text{ BTU/hr}
