5000 BTU is a tiny amount of cooling - are you sure you don't mean 50,000 BTU?
A 5000 BTU might give you a drop of 5 degrees C in a 6' x 8' office with no south facing windows, as long as the ceiling isn't too high.
For a normal 10' square room, 12,000 BTU is a more reasonable starting point, then add more for sources of heat gain in the room.
