Heating load calculation formula: The key to efficient heat supply

A precise heating load calculation formula is essential for the optimum dimensioning of your heating system. The heating load defines the amount of heat required to maintain the desired room temperature, especially on cold days. The basic formula is:

Heating load (W) = transmission heat loss + ventilation heat loss

The transmission heat loss takes into account the heat loss through the building envelope, while the ventilation heat loss takes into account the heat loss through air exchange. An exact calculation of the heating load ensures that your heating system is neither oversized nor undersized, which optimizes both energy consumption and operating costs.

Your advantages at a glance:

  • Efficient heating system
  • Reduced energy costs
  • Comfortable indoor climate
  • Longer service life of the heating

Frequently asked questions

We have answered some of the questions that our prospective customers often ask us to help you plan your project:
What exactly does TGA planning at Novusplan involve?
TGA planning at Novusplan encompasses the holistic structuring of a project’s technical building equipment. This includes the planning and coordination of various trades such as heating and heating technology, sanitary engineering, electrical engineering, ventilation technology and more, in order to ensure efficient, fail-safe and standard-compliant building equipment.
Project management is responsible for overall coordination: Budgeting and scheduling, phase coordination, cooperation between the trades. Site management is responsible for implementation on site: Monitoring the execution, quality assurance and as an interface to the trades. In short: operational activities.
experts have specialized knowledge in building and supply engineering. The neutral assessment and advice minimize the risk of complications, delays and legal disputes in both private and commercial construction projects.

At Novusplan, we attach great importance to transparent communication. Through regular coordination, clear documentation and open communication channels, we ensure that our customers are informed about the progress of the project at all times and are actively involved in decision-making processes.
