Formula

Fabric = Σ (A × U) × ΔT

Ventilation = 0.33 × ACH × Volume × ΔT

ΔT = indoor − outdoor design temperature

Assumptions & limits

  • Steady-state method (similar to EN 12831 simplified); thermal bridges are not included.
  • 0.33 Wh/m³K is the volumetric heat capacity of air.
  • Ground floors often use a lower effective ΔT; this tool applies the full ΔT.

Worked example

ΣAU = 18 + 14 + 10 + 12.5 = 54.5 W/K × 26 = 1,417 W; ventilation 0.33 × 0.7 × 125 × 26 = 751 W → 2.17 kW.
