Capacity of Air conditioner

Hello
What should be the capacity of an air conditioner to cool a Room of 150 X 50 X20 feet room. It houses about 30 people on an average. The room has 10 computers.

Thanks in advance

By my calculations, it should be about a 2.5 ton system. The computers and people will create about 25,000 BTUs an hour, but this figure neglects lighting and solar gain from windows, so it is probably a little undersized. You might be able to do it with 5 window units, but you really should have a HVAC contractor look at the space and do a Manual J.
