I tried looking for in my refrigeration book, it talks more about water temperature and air loss. My unit measurements are 21' x 36' x 8' height. Anybody out there.

Anybody out there. Not enough info. Is this unit just for the basement? Are the walls insulated? Is the ceiling insulated? Any windows? Where are you located? Fully under-ground or partial? Heat load calc would be best.
