Not sure if this is the right category for this thread but....

Does anyone have any idea how much power consumption (in continuous watts or kwh per month) it would take to keep an area the size of a typical bathroom at 21 degrees?

I intend to install a server rack running approx 10 Supermicro servers into a similar space.

This would be in Tauranga where the climate is over 21 degrees 6 months of the year which would also need to be factored in.

Thoughts?

Yep, whatever power the servers consume, they will exhaust as heat.  So figure that out, then you know the heat capacity needed.  Add the requirements for the room itself as if it were empty, and you're good.  I understand most A/C units run best at around 70-80% of capacity but check with an installer to be sure.
