heating load calculation

Now that you have digested the basics of hydronic balancing in the first step, let’s move on to calculating the heating load for the building and the respective rooms. Using three example calculations, I’ll show you how you can calculate your heating load in no time at all.

The heating load calculation is a crucial basis for all further steps in carrying out hydronic balancing.

A frequently asked question is: How do I calculate the heating load? As is so often the case, there are several ways to calculate the heating load. I will introduce you to three simplified calculation methods that are used for the approximate determination of the heating load in existing buildings. For new buildings, a detailed heating load calculation is carried out by a specialised company using the actual building data.
