Most people will tell you that ICT is a shortening for âinformation and communications technologyâ â option number one above. Letâs unpack that phrase. So it is âinformation technologyâ or âcommunications technologyâ. It is not âinformationâ or âcommunicationâ standing on its own. âInformationâ or âcommunicationâ has to go with technology â they cannot exist independently. You could shorten information and communications technology to just technology. Option 2
For example, a 24 ft. x 24 ft. garage with an eight-foot ceiling has a volume of 4608 ft.3 (24 * 24 * 8 = 4608) Final Formula. Once you have all the data assembled, multiply them together and divide by 1.6 to find the number of BTUs required to heat your garage. (Insulation * Volume * Temp. Rise)/1.6 = BTU. For example, if your garage was 4608 ft. 3 in volume, your temperature rise was 20Â°F, and your insulation rating was one, it would be: (1 * 4608 * 20)/1.6 = 57,600 BTU
You need to establish the correct number of BTUs per square foot for your house needed to either heat or cool it. The methods differ for heating and cooling and are described below. Many furnaces and air conditioners will be labeled BTU, but this is actually shorthand for BTU per hour (BTU/h). At a bare minimum, you can use a figure of 20 BTUs per hour per square foot and multiply this by the total square footage to be heated or cooled, but this does not take into account climate, the amount of insulation you have, or the way you live.
