2.5. Determining the heat output
There is not a specific rule that enables the calculation of the required heat output. This depends on the amount of
space that is required to be heated and mostly on its insulation. In average the required heat output for a properly
insulated room and with external temperature of 0
ο
C is 40 kCal/h per m
3
.
Taking into account that 1kW equals 860 kCal/h an equivalent of 50W/m
3
can be used. For example, to heat a 150 m3
room (10 x 6 x 2.5m) in an insulated residence, the output required is 150m
3
x 50W/m
3
= 7500W or 7.5 kW.
So, for the main heating, a 10kW appliance is enough.
