What the tool does, how to run it, and what to expect from the result.
Energy Star sizes room air conditioners by floor area: 150 sq ft needs 5,000 BTU/h, 300 sq ft 7,000, 550 sq ft 12,000 and so on. Then adjust: +10% for a very sunny room, −10% for a shaded one, +600 BTU for each person beyond two, +4,000 BTU for a kitchen. 12,000 BTU/h is one ton of cooling.
