Qss = Qsw + Qsd + Qsgu + Qsgs + Qsr + Qsf

Where:

 

 Qss        = Sensible cooling load for a room due to the structure, Btuh
 Qsw        = Cooling load due to walls, Btuh
 Qsd        = Cooling load due to metal or wooden doors, Btuh
 Qsgu        = Cooling load due to unshaded windows/skylights/glass doors, Btuh
 Qsgs        = Cooling load due to shaded windows/skylights/glass doors, Btuh
 Qsr        = Cooling load due to roofs, Btuh
 Qsf        = Cooling load due to floors, Btuh
