The discussion focuses on the considerations involved in performing cooling load calculations for hotel rooms, specifically regarding whether to include the toilet area in the calculations and how to account for air movement and temperature differences between the room and the toilet.
Participants express differing views on whether the toilet area should be included in the cooling load calculations and how to handle the partition wall between the toilet and the room. The discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing perspectives.
There are assumptions about temperature uniformity between the room and the toilet, as well as the impact of bathroom fans on air conditioning needs that are not fully clarified.

i meant losses to the toilet through the partition wall, If I am considering the cooled area to include the toilet , I would not consider the partition wall separating the toilet and the room because I am assuming the toilet and room are at the same temperature.ChemAir said:The toilet area is part of the area being cooled, so you need to consider it. You will need to account for the air lost in the restroom. Any air the bathroom fan pulls out, comes in from somewhere, and it has to be conditioned/accounted for.
I'm not sure what you are asking here. To get a good load calculation, you will have to account for all the gains/losses for the whole room.
