I do not have a clue what a "sensible BTU" is nor how to measure it.


Sensible heat is the heat energy contained in the contents of the house.
Stored heat, I guess is a good term for it. A chair at 80 degrees contains
more heat than the chair at 70 degrees. I don't know how you go about
measuring it. Once you reduce the sensible heat in a building, it will not
gain as long as the AC continues to run and remove any additional heat
coming into the house.
