Definitions for "Heat loss"
The heat that is lost (in BTU's) through ceilings, roof, floors and exterior walls of a house.
Heat that is lost from a building through air leakage, conduction and radiation. To maintain a steady interior temperature, heat losses must be offset by a combination of heat gains and heat contributed by a heating system.
The amount of heat that leaves the living space, as through walls, ceiling, air leakage around windows, etc. This is the amount of heat that a furnace has to replace in order to maintain a constant temperature in the living space.
THE MOVEMENT OF HEAT THROUGH THE WINDOW, GOING TOWARD THE COLD (OUTSIDE). CONDUCTION, CONVECTION AND RADIATION ARE THE WAYS IT USES TO ESCAPE.
Term used for all areas of your home where heated air may escape due to construction styles, age of house, windows, weather-stripping, etc. All homes will experience some level of heat loss.
Heat transfer from internal spaces to external areas through conduction or convection.
The calculation of the dissipation of heat within a building as a result of the insulation thickness and other building components. These heat loss calculations will determine the size of HVAC unit required to meet the customer's specifications.
power dissipated as heat
The amount of heat subtracted from a designated area.
