How to fill out whole house heat loss

How to fill out whole house heat loss:

1. Start by identifying all the areas of your house that contribute to heat loss, such as windows, doors, walls, and floors.
2. Measure the dimensions of each area and record them accurately.
3. Determine the insulation levels in each area. This can be done by checking the type and thickness of insulation present or by conducting a professional energy audit.
4. Calculate the U-value (thermal conductivity) of each area based on the insulation levels. This value represents how well the area resists heat transfer.
5. Take into account any additional factors that contribute to heat loss, such as air leaks, ductwork inefficiencies, and thermal bridging.
6. Use a heat loss calculation tool or software to input the recorded measurements and information. This will help you determine the overall heat loss for your entire house.
7. Analyze the results obtained and identify areas with high heat loss. These areas may require additional insulation or other energy-efficient measures to reduce heat loss.
8. Based on the calculated heat loss, determine the appropriate heating system size and capacity for your home.
9. Consult with a professional HVAC contractor or energy specialist to validate and further refine your heat loss calculations.
