Heat Loss Calculations

Heat loss calculations are essential for designing energy-efficient buildings. They determine the amount of heat that escapes from a structure, which helps architects and engineers select appropriate insulation, heating systems, and other energy-saving measures.  

Methods of Heat Loss Calculations  There are two main methods for calculating heat loss:

Steady-State Heat Loss Calculation: Assumes constant indoor and outdoor temperatures and neglects thermal mass.
Dynamic Heat Loss Calculation: Considers the transient nature of indoor and outdoor temperatures and the thermal mass of the building.

Heat loss calculations are a vital aspect of designing energy-efficient buildings. By understanding the principles, methods, and factors involved, architects and engineers can optimize the thermal performance of structures, reduce energy consumption, and create more comfortable and sustainable indoor environments.

As part of our thermal modelling services, we can provide loading calculations to CIBSE methodologies. By thermally modelling the building we can provide detailed analysis of Heat losses, Solar, occupancy and Equipment Gains, and report on heating and cooling loads via the methodologies set out in CIBSE Guide A Environmental Design.
