Power Absorbed

(OP)
Im working on an efficiency project and seek to gain some information to assist me with this. Hope that you can throw me some pointers for this.

Air flow temperature drop - If the air coming into an AHU is more than that leaving an AHU then there has been some temperature absorbed - how could this be worked into a watt figure - is this possible ? I know I need to get a l/s figure for the AHU and an adjustment figure for the pressure drop created by the filter media. But would this be a viable way to take this forward ?

RE: Power Absorbed

Just ignore all and use Q = 1.08 x cfm x dT, dT in deg.F. This give the heat in btus.
