  2. 2Apply the formula using your project measurements
  3. 3Add required safety factors or waste allowances per code

Worked Examples

Инпут
Wall: 0.07 U × 500 sf × 60°F delta
Резултат
Heat Load = 0.07 × 500 × 60 = 2100 BTU/hr through wall

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not applying code-required safety factors or derating
  • Forgetting to account for waste and cut losses in material estimates
