Formulas used
Velocity = 4005 x (Velocity Pressure)1/2
quivalent length for system effect calcs, outlet velocity over 2,500 fpm = Velocity x (Duct area 1/2)/10,600

Estimated static requirement for the window terminal unit - 4" damper = ### in.w.c.

Estimated static requiement for a unit with a 5" damper (see below) = 0.55 in.w.c.
System total with this unit = ###
System total with this unit and a lower loss attenuator = ###
