Here is a standard BTU to sq. foot chart to help:

To cool this area, look for this size air conditioner

100 to 150 square feet: 5,000 BTUs

150 to 250 square feet: 6,000 BTUs

250 to 300 square feet: 7,000 BTUs

300 to 350 square feet: 8,000 BTUs

350 to 400 square feet: 9,000 BTUs

400 to 450 square feet: 10,000 BTUs

450 to 550 square feet: 12,000 BTUs

550 to 700 square feet: 14,000 BTUs

700 to 1,000 square feet: 18,000 BTUs

1,000 to 1 400 square feet: 24,000 BTUs

*Remember that the rating for an air conditioner is based on the maximum setting or power level. When in doubt, go for the next higher BTU unit. You don't want to run your A/C at the maximum level.

How many btu to cool a 400 sq ft room?

While the question is not very well framed, the following information probably permits an answer to the intended question:The rule of thumb is 2-1/2 tons of refrigeration per 1000 square feet.1 ton = 12000 BTU/hour... so 400 ft2 x 2.5 tons/1000 ft2 x 12000 BTU/hr∙ton = 12000 BTU/hrNote that the appropriate answer is in terms of RATE of cooling (BTU/hr) not total energy (BTU)It is impossible to answer the question as asked because the total energy required to cool the room would depend on several factors not provided with the question, for example:the beginning and ending temperaturesheight of the room - so that the volume of the room could be calculatedhumidity of the airdegree of insulationwhether the room contained only air or also furniture, equipment, people,etc.
