Area and Taiwan ping
Convert area between square metres, square feet and Taiwan ping. This is an area conversion rather than a judgement about property records.

Approximate lower cooling capacity
3.72kW
This is a preliminary range, not a guaranteed unit specification. Compare rated cooling capacity, not electricity input power.
Approximate upper cooling capacity4.65 kW
Lower bound3,200 kcal/h
Upper bound4,000 kcal/h
Worked steps
- 3200 ÷ 860 = 3.72093 kW
- 4000 ÷ 860 = 4.65116 kW
The campus energy handbook gives an approximate range per ping: 400–500 kcal/h for neither exposure, 550–650 for either, 700–800 for both. Divide by 860 for approximate kW. This is a preliminary range from an older campus source, not a residential engineering standard or guarantee. Ceiling height, glazing, shade, insulation, open layouts, people and equipment are not individually accounted for. Ask an air-conditioning professional to assess the site; compare rated cooling capacity, not electrical input power.
Method and scope
This is a preliminary range based on an older Taiwan campus energy handbook, not a residential engineering design or guarantee.
Ceiling height, windows, shading, insulation, open layouts, occupants and equipment are not individually modeled. Ask an air-conditioning professional to assess the site; compare rated cooling capacity, not electrical input power.

Purpose
Estimate a preliminary range for Taiwan, not a final equipment specification.
What to enter
Use actual indoor floor area in ping, and select whether the room has western sun exposure and is on the top floor.
How it works
The referenced campus table uses 400–500 kcal/h per ping for neither, 550–650 for either, and 700–800 for both; divide by 860 to approximate kW.
Example
For 8 ping with neither exposure, the range is 3,200–4,000 kcal/h, approximately 3.72–4.65 kW.
Reading the result
Both limits are approximate cooling capacity, not electrical power consumption or a guarantee the unit is suitable.
Limits
The method omits details including ceiling height, windows, insulation, occupancy and equipment. Have the actual site assessed before choosing a unit.
