In a case like the following calculate the volume of (1), (2) as a single room or as the smallest room.
1) Where there are no smaller room divisions

Indoor unit
2) Where there is a room division but there is an opening between the rooms sufficiently large to
permit a free flow of air back and forth. (Where there is an opening without a door or where
there are openings above and below the door which are each equivalent in size to 0.15% or
more of the floor area.)
