To familiarize yourself with the principles
and techniques of the heat loss calculation procedure, click here.

The following forms and calculations apply
only to above grade residential buildings with average infiltration. Unusual items,
such as hot tubs, greenhouses or glass areas over 40% of a wall, or indoor swimming pools
produce special demands, and are not addressed by this formula.
The heat gain calculates an indoor
temperature of 78° with a relative humidity of 55% for outdoor temperatures up to 93°.
For outdoor temperatures greater than 93°, it calculates a relative indoor humidity of
55% at a temperature 15° lower than the outdoor temperature. A 15° maximum
temperature difference is recommended for health reasons.
