Banquet AC Tonnage & Power Calculator

Size commercial HVAC chillers and diesel backup generators for peak summer wedding loads

Open in App
Quick Hall Presets:
Recommended Commercial HVAC

Total Cooling Tonnage Required

98 TR (Tons)

Engineered for 11,76,000 BTU/hr peak heat absorption.
Backup Power Generation
Recommended Diesel DG Set Capacity

255 kVA (Silent DG Set)

Sized with 2.6 kVA/TR to absorb AC motor starting surges, LED stage walls, and sound consoles.

Pre-Cooling Protocol for Summer Banquets:

Turn on 70% of HVAC units 90 minutes before guest arrival to pull structural heat from the floor and walls. Turn on remaining units at 100% capacity when the hall reaches 50% guest occupancy.

Track generator fuel, AC run-hours, and electricity costs per booking.

The Venura Banquet App logs DG diesel consumption and adds utility billing automatically to client final invoices.

Feature Capabilities

Engineered for Real-World Event & Catering Operations

Human Heat Load Calibration

Calculates sensory and latent body heat loads (approx 600 BTU/hr per attendee in Indian celebratory wear) for crowded wedding gatherings.

Stage Lighting & AV Thermal Gain

Accounts for halogen, LED wall arrays, line-array audio amplifiers, and videography floodlight thermal heat dissipation.

Standby DG Generator Sizing (kVA)

Computes required generator rating with motor-starting surge buffers to prevent brownouts during full-load compressor startups.

Hourly Diesel Fuel Burn Rate

Estimates hourly diesel fuel consumption (e.g. 28–32 L/hr on a 125kVA generator) to calculate exact post-event utility billing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About This Tool

How many tons of AC are required per 100 guests in a banquet hall?

In India's tropical summer climate, plan for 8 to 10 TR (Tons of Refrigeration) per 100 guests, or approximately 1 TR per 80–100 sq.ft of banquet carpet area considering high ceiling heights (14+ ft) and buffet thermal heat.

What generator kVA capacity is required to power a 50 TR banquet AC system?

A 50 TR HVAC package unit requires a minimum 100 kVA to 125 kVA standby diesel generator to absorb compressor motor inrush starting currents without tripping sensitive banquet AV equipment.

What is the pre-cooling schedule for summer wedding banquets?

Banquet halls should start chillers 90 to 120 minutes prior to guest arrival. Cooling down an empty hall takes 40% less electrical power than attempting to pull down temperatures after 500 warm guests enter.

How does venue management software assist in electricity submeter billing?

Venura OS includes mobile meter photo capture where staff record opening/closing kWh units and DG run hours, automatically deducting utility consumption from client security deposits.
