In some older homes that do not have a central heating and air conditioning system, smaller air conditioning units made to fit inside of a window and cool a single room are used as an alternative way to cool the home. Depending on the size of the room and the amount of shade that the room has, different sizes of air conditioning units must be used in order to be able to properly cool the room. The unit of measure for the amount of cooling that an air conditioner unit can provide is the BTU (British Thermal Unit) per hour. Code a program that will calculate the correct size of air conditioner for a specific room size using the instructions below. Step 1:
In some older homes that do not have a central heating and air conditioning system, smaller air conditioning units made to fit inside of a window and cool a single room are used as an alternative way to cool the home.

The unit of measure for the amount of cooling that an air conditioner unit can provide is the BTU (British Thermal Unit) per hour.
Code a program that will calculate the correct size of air conditioner for a specific room size using the instructions below.
Step 1:
Ask the user to enter the length of their room (in feet).
Step 2:
Ask the user to enter the width of their room (in feet).
Step 3:
Calculate the area (in square feet) of the room by multiplying the length and the width of the room.
For example, if a room is 20 feet wide by 24 feet long, then its area is 20 * 24 = 480 square feet
Step 4:
Display a menu that asks the user how much shade the room gets. The menu should have the following options:
- Little Shade
- Moderate Shade
- Abundant Shade
Step 5:
Determine the capacity of the air conditioning unit that is needed for a moderately shaded room by using the information in the table below.
|
Room Size (sq. ft) |
AC capacity (BTUs/hr) |
|
Less than 250 |
5,500 |
|
250 to 500 |
10,000 |
|
501 to 1,000 |
17,500 |
|
Over 1,000 |
24,000 |
If the room has little shade, then the BTU capacity should be increased by 15% since the air conditioning unit must be able to produce extra cooling.
If the room has abundant shade, then the BTU capacity should be decreased by 10% since the air conditioning unit does not need to work as hard to cool a shaded room.
Step 6:
Create a String object in memory to hold the text “Air Conditioning Window Unit Cooling Capacity”. Display that text at the top of the output.
Step 7:
Display the following output:
-
- The area of the room (in square feet)
- The amount of shade that the room gets
- The number of BTUs per Hour that are needed to cool that room (rounded to the nearest whole number)
