Heating, cooling and sanitary systems – Content and goals of the chapters

This chapter contains the various aspects of system design.

Calculate Heat Load

The heat load calculation according to EN 12831-1 determines the thermal energy requirement for the building and for each individual room. This is how to prepare the planning of the heating surfaces and the selection of the heat generator.
