I have a room that I want to calculate the btu requirements for and I was wondering if I could do it like this??
I have a 100 000 btu hot water exchanger that runs of a thermostat set at 21c .
it has a consatnt flow of 180 water .
can I put a timer on the fan motor and see how many hours it runs per day and multiply that with the btu output to get the requirment of that room per day??
example. 3 hours runtime x 100 000 = 300000 btu per day
I know there is a calculator that I can input my building and r factor and outside temp ect but I just think if I knew that it was a 100 000 btu exchanger and how long it ran it would be better.
