Introduction
There are two different but related calculated values of interest to the heating system designer. The first is to estimate the maximum rate of heat loss to properly size the heating equipment (furnace). The second calculated value that must be determined is the annual heating bill. This is determined by calculating the annual energy requirement based from the design heat loss rate.
In this course, we will learn to determine the rate at which heat is lost through building elements using a process called heat loss calculation. You will learn how to extrapolate your calculation of a maximum hourly rate into an annual energy usage rate. You will also learn some useful tips on saving heating energy.
The section-3 of the course includes one sample example.
