I've been assuming that whatever energy you put into an electronic system is coming out as heat -there might be multiple conversions before it becomes heat, but it must become heat eventually.
A resistive heater is said to convert 1 Watt to 3.41 BTU/hr. So that's the conversion I'm using. I'm largely ignoring other factors because I'm assuming the overwhelming majority of heat in the room is the heat from my equipment, and the goal is to pump that heat outside. I don't think I've undersized an air conditioner yet using that methodology, but is it overkill?
