SUMMARY
When calculating the cooling load for hotel rooms, the toilet area must be included as part of the cooled space. It is essential to account for air losses through the bathroom fan, as any air expelled must be replaced by conditioned air from the room. The partition wall between the toilet and the room can typically be disregarded in load calculations, assuming both areas maintain the same temperature. Accurate load calculations require consideration of all gains and losses throughout the entire room, including the toilet.
