Hallo ianniann That does sound more like what I assumed the procedure would be. My calculations are for the space heating only yes I've calculated the heat load using the monthly average temperature and summed them as you said and I get 85.8kW. But this value doesn't seem to take...

Well thats my questions answered Thank you both your time and help

Well the heat load is the energy required to achieve required temperatures in a building at any one time, is that right? So would you use the heat load to size a boiler? or what other uses does knowing the Heat Load have?

Haha yeah good question! Its more of a literate review and this design is only one part of it to help enforce some concepts im discussing. So can I not use the heat load to estimate carbon or bill savings in any way then? What is a heat load typically used for? Thank you for your help...

Sorry guess I havn't explained very well. I'm trying to establish how using different materials it a buildings envelope effects the energy required to heat the home and therefore the carbon savings achieved by the different materials. I thought this could be done using the heat load for the...

Im trying to work out how much gas fuel it would take to heat the home in a year?

Please help, I have a designed new build domestic home which I have calculated the Heat Load for according to Eurocode standard BS EN 12831 2003 which gives a value in Watts. I'm now trying to work out the energy demand of the space heating in Kwh/year to establish the cost and carbon...
