- The example calculation is materially inconsistent with the sizing formula defined earlier: 168 sq ft × 25 BTU/sq ft should yield 4,200 BTU by the document's math, but that baseline is itself far too low relative to the rest of the guide and then jumps to a 1.0 ton recommendation without a coherent derivation. In a consumer purchasing skill, inconsistent sizing logic can cause users to buy the wrong-capacity AC, leading to financial loss, inadequate cooling, excess energy use, and accelerated equipment wear.
