Use the table below to organize your computations
master / mstr bath / liv room / kitchen / Hallway / bath / 2nd bed / 3rd bed / Total9*((22-6)*14 + 0.5*4*(8+14)) / 14*6*9 / (16*16*9) + (1/3)*(16*16*9) / (5+2+4)*(10)*9 + (3/4)*(3.14*4^2)*9 + (1/3)*(3.14*4^2)*9 / 9*20*5 / 9*10*5 / 9*10*12 / 9*10*12
2412 ft3 / 756 ft3 / 3072 ft3 / 1449.16 ft3 / 900 ft3 / 450 ft3 / 1080 ft3 / 1080 ft3 / 11229.84 ft3
If an air conditioning unit can efficiently cool 13,000 cubic feet of air. How many units would you need for this house?
You would need 1 unit
If it costs $0.10 an hour to cool, how much will it cost just to cool the house for one 30 day month? Show your calculations
$72
Suppose you were looking at a house with the exact same dimensions, but it was 2 stories tall (another 9 feet). To cool it how many air conditioning units would you need to have? Show your calculations
master / mstr bath / liv room / kitchen / Hallway / bath / 2nd bed / 3rd bed / Total4824 ft3 / 1512 ft3 / 5376 ft3 / 1980+678.24+113.04
=2771.28 ft3 / 1800 ft3 / 900 ft3 / 2160 ft3 / 2160 ft3 / 21540.96 ft3
# of units = 21,540ft3/13,000 ft3= 1.66, so you would need 2 units
Suppose it now costs an average of $0.14 an hour. What would be the difference in the cost to keep your house cool? Show your calculations
New cost: $100.8, so it would be $28.8 a month more
