Sizing air conditioner units?
(OP)
I am looking to size an air conditioning unit for a small room (with no windows) containing a heat producing piece of equipment. Where would be a good place to find information on the necessary calculations?

I believe your direct question was: "Where would be a good place to find information on the necessary calculations?"
The answer is: the ASHRAE Handbook, "Applications".
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers controls and dictates the standards in the industry and is well organized. They publish all the information you seek and they are the authority on the subject. Their books can be considered expensive, but you may be able to borrow one or find one in a technical library.
Good Luck.

length x width x hieght x 2.5
and add to that total the btuh for equipment
for each watt you should add 3.413 btuh this total will be very close to the same as using the wright j load cal. program I know this from my many years as a hvac instructor ( not a spelling teacher as you may have noticed)

If you don't have the time to research, you should accept the canned programs.
