The total heat load of a room fitted with air conditioner of 1.5 ton capacity has been calculated by calculating conduction and ventilation losses. Solar heat gain and internal gain were taken as the other two parameters for the total heat calculation. %K Heat gain %K absorptance %K transmittance %K coefficient of performance %U http://www.ajer.org/papers/v2(4)/I0247274.pdf
