Cooling load

Watts = area × W/m². BTU/h = watts × 3.412. A shaded room might sit near 80–100 W/m²; a west glass wall can want more. Not a heat-gain survey.

Area to cool — usually the room's floor footprint.

Cooling watts per square metre — a shaded room is often 80–100 W/m²; a west-facing window needs more.

Kitchen heat, occupancy and solar gain move the number. The heat-pump page is the winter cousin.
