All figures derived from Tables 10.3 & 10.4 in MEEB
Cooling capacity: about 250 tons Total space boiler/chiller room: 1,700 sq. ft. (chilled water purchased & piped in from water chilling/energy company in Houston)* Cooling towers: about 300 sq. ft. of roof area Packaged unit size: A single package unit to service 15,000 sq. ft. would be 25’ Long, 7’ 3" Wide, and 4’ 11" high. Because I have 3 floors at approximately 15,000 sq. ft. each, and unfortunately my design only has one mechanical room per floor, I will have one air handler per floor.
Central fan: moves a volume of about 50,000 cfm Main supply/return ducts: each, 30 sq. ft. total cross-sectional area Branch supply/return ducts: each, 48 sq. ft. total cross-sectional area Fan rooms: 1500 sq. ft. total area Fresh air louvers: 130 sq. ft. total area Exhaust air louvers: 100 sq. ft. total area
