This calculator is designed for HVAC professionals to estimate heat loss in a building, helping optimize energy efficiency and system sizing.
This calculator uses standard heat loss equations to provide accurate results. All calculations are based on reliable engineering principles.
Heat Loss: \( Q = U \times A \times \Delta T \)
Consider a room with an area of 50m², a temperature difference of 20°C, and a U-Value of 1.5 W/m²K. Using the formula:
\( Q = 1.5 \times 50 \times 20 = 1500 \text{ W} \)
Heat loss refers to the transfer of heat from inside a building to the outside environment.
U-Values are determined by the materials used in construction. Consult building codes for recommended values.
Understanding heat loss helps optimize heating systems for efficiency and comfort.
Yes, it can be used for both residential and commercial buildings, but consider consulting a professional for complex structures.
The calculator uses metric units (m² for area, °C for temperature, and W/m²K for U-Value).
