WHAT IS HEAT LOSS?
Heat loss is where heat escapes from inside the building to outside, typically through the roof, walls, windows and floor. Knowing the heat loss helps determining the most efficient heating system and ensuring that your property is adequately heated.When looking at heated floors, knowing the heat loss of your room or home will tell you if underfloor heating will be enough to heat your room or home properly. If the heat loss is low, it is highly likely that floor heating will be enough. But if the heat loss is high, you may need to look at ways to reduce heat loss to ensure efficient performance of the system. Heat loss will also validate whether the building meets regulatory approval and, more significantly, determine the energy requirements and running costs of your home.
WHY REDUCE HEAT LOSS ?
A home with a high heat loss costs you more money, but the good news is that there are few simple steps you can take to reduce the energy loss via heat escaping your home to reduce your heating bills.
REDUCE HEAT LOOS AND ENERGY CONSUMPTIONThere are several ways to reduce energy consumption and heat loss. These include:Improving the insulation of the property (reduction of conduction losses)Reducing air leakage (reducing convective losses)Reducing energy consumption by using efficient heating methods
