Heat load calculation for the control cabinets

the A/C mfrs have good calcs in their catalogs. i've used kooltronics and mcclean-midwest successfully. one or both has a free program you can download. these are meant to size an a/c unit for the cabinet, but i'm guessing the principles would be the same for multiple cabinets in a room. use the efficiencies given by the plc mfrs, lighting fixtures, etc. to calculate how much power goes into heating the cabinet(room) as jbartos says.
