HI 1999: New Guide Offers Help Calculating Heat Loss
HI offers almost 50 other publications that help with both the technical and marketing side of hydronic heat.
The Hydronics Institute recently updated one of its longtime I=B=R guides, the Heat Loss Calculation Guide. The heat loss guide is only one of almost 50 publications HI provides especially for heating contractors.
The following is excerpted from the new heat loss guide. The guide also includes how to calculate heat loss for "special cases," such as fireplaces, cathedral ceilings, log cabins and green houses.
