There are 40 people sitting in a 20°C room with 60 m² area and 3 m height ceiling. A single person produces about 120 W body heat, and you worry that the room will get hot, so you switch on the AC. Theoretically, at least how much power does it need to run the AC (a heat pump) cooling this extra body heat if the outside temperature is 40 C?
