Thanks Dave,
So all the carnot magic happens inside the box. That makes sense. I measured during the heat of the day and full business activity (doors open a lot).

Thank you but let's back up. I am not a mechanical engineer, rather an architectural engineer (not a choice when signing up)doing an energy audit for a friends restaurant.
I haven't access to ASHRAE stuff. It would seem to be a simple calculation since I've measured the wattage of the units...
I am doing my first restaurant and have a question about the amount of heat gain to figure for the coolers and refrigerators.
At first I thought it might be tied to the watts consumed but then the cooler absorbs heat from the surrounding area. Then I thought it might be the wattage divided...
