The above conversion of mine was correct, the mistake I made was not specifying that the numbers are per day which of course made everything seems 24 times larger than what they are, but then using the correct time unit makes your source and mine identical, thanks for the correction.


Wouldn't call it unnecessary, because if you had to cool 0.25MW where either fan blowing or AC units next to your neighbor's wall, then that would be a major problem, your neighbor would be happy in the winter and mad in the summer, . but with enough distance that exhausted heat won't be felt, so ya attempting that in a crowded city is not so smart.


Those won't work for our case, there is a huge difference between sound dampening and soundproofing, what we need is the latter, sound dampening is important for recording studios and all, but they are poor in soundproofing because acoustic panels have very low-density/mass and thus they won't help much with soundproofing,



Thanks for the source, I will be looking into it, it seems interesting.


could you explain this further? how would noise escape up and not to the sides?
