A customer has two warehouses side by side. One has a lot of print machinery so is constantly hot the other is processing and hence always cooler

So the obvious this would be to fit some fans to transpose the air back and forth which will have a double effect -reduce the temp in one, whilst raising it in the other- a true 'win-win' situation. :LOL:

(Summer is different as they both over heat so it's not to be considered in the equation..)

The Carbon Trust have funding available for him if he can show that by utilising this approach he can save money.

So I have to calculate the fans required -I'm going for 10 air changes per hour which will be controlled via both a stat and speed controllers. That's easy and already done.

The trickier part for me is to 'quote' for gas heaters for the cooler building which must include approx running costs. This he can use to balance the cost savings and hence get the grant..

So to finally get to my question , has anyone got a R.O.T which I can use to get a rough estimate of the gas heater to use in a warehouse 19 x 25 x 7 m ?

Cheers
