Use matching length units for area and height. The capacity factor must be in capacity per volume (for example, W/m³ or BTU/h/ft³).

Planning arithmetic only. This does not choose equipment, account for climate, windows, occupancy, ventilation, local codes, or installation constraints. Ask a qualified local professional to size and select the system.
