I'm a student in technical communication and I'm working on a research proposal. My topic is the installation of air conditioning units in our library. I would like to know how to properly plan an air conditioning system for large buildings.

Go to some of the manufacturers sites maybe they can help you. Its an easy thing to do it right.
There are heat loads to consider, in a libary there would be lighting loads, and loads due the occupants. Plus ventilation requirements (probably get a specific volume per person depending on the codes in your area). You'd need to know a little about the structure itself in ordered to calculate the heat gain through the roof and walls, and any windows (solar heat gain). As well as the indoor conditions you'd like to maintain, you'd need to know the outdoor design temperature.
Once you have all the loads and ventilation requirements then you can select a unit. In order to select a unit you'll need to have some idea of where it will be mounted. Maybe or maybe not the roof can support it. It may have to be installed outside on the ground. Also you will have to decide how best to distribute the air conditioned air through out the space.

The question doesnt seems to be clear buddy...
you want the heat load in terms of tonnage...
for a specific things or you want the formulaes to calculate it

Depending on your budget, Geothermal cooling and heating is the best for the least maintenance and upkeep.
