2T should be adequate. If you have a west facing wall or on the top floor, go for 3 T

You must consider other variables, like sun orientation, altitude, exposition of wall and windows to the sun, kind of materials for walls and roof, area of exposed walls and windows, how many persons are in, what time, how long, then with this data it's possible to develop an accurate calculation, however, it is possible to approach empirically between 1.5 to 2 tons (18.000 to 24.000 Btu/h)

what is the purpose of the room? & where do you live?!!
if you are anywhere in TN you will need a 2 ton AC(provided you are the only person going to reside in the room)

We have a 12,000 BTU window unit that cools a west-facing room, "ice-cold". Our room has 1/2 the volume than the one you describe, so 18,000-20,000 BTU would probably do nicely.

My whole house central air conditioning unit is rated at 2 tons and it cools 2500 Sq. Ft. of living space very easily.
Per Home Depot's web site calculator you require a 7500BTU/Hr rated unit, or about 3/4 ton.

It depends on what you will have in the room. Is it for servers? If it is you will need to figure out the BTUs. If it is an empty room then a 5t should keep it cold.

.8 TON AC IS ENOUGH, PROVIDED ROOM IS NOT BELOW OPEN SKY.
