I am calculating an A/C load for a baggage claim area in a heliport and have a baggage door that will be opened to the outside. Does anyone know a site where I can find a means of calculating the heat gain from this opening or does anyone have a formula?

Have you considered using strip doors or an air curtain to reduce the loss of air conditioning?

I plan to us either/or but I need to know how to figure the amount of air that will flow through the opening so as to know how much air to bring in to pressureize the space.
