   The unit is operated 120 days each year for 8 hours per day (960 hours per year), and the electric energy cost is $0.10 per kilowatt-hour. What is its annual cost of operation in terms of electric energy? First, we convert tons of cooling to BTU/h: (4 tons) × (12,000 (BTU/h)/ton) = 48,000 BTU/h. The annual cost of the electric energy is:

   Heating, cooling, ventilation and exhaustion are all key areas to consider in the mechanical planning of a building. [4] In special cases, water cooling/heating, humidity control or air filtration [5] may also be incorporated. For example, Google's data centres make extensive use of heat exchangers to cool their servers. [6]
