Heat Loss BTU Calculator

We have comprehensive BTU (British Thermal Unit) calculators here on our website, offering both basic and advanced programs to determine the heating requirements for your space. Discover the importance of this crucial step before investing in radiators and make informed decisions tailored to your space.

Both our basic and advanced calculators are available online for convenient use. The advanced program, STARS for short, requires a login for access, allowing you to manage and duplicate previous projects effortlessly. Please use the advanced version of the programme at starsapp.co.uk.

Calculating BTU for radiators is a crucial step in guaranteeing your room is adequately heated. Larger rooms demand more substantial radiators or a higher quantity, while compact radiators suffice for smaller spaces. Our calculators simplify this process, providing accurate estimates based on Delta-T 50°C (Δ-T50°C) in accordance with BS EN 442 standards.

STARS – Advanced Heat Loss Programme

STARS offers a comprehensive approach to calculating heating requirements. Inputting detailed room specifications, including dimensions, materials, and insulation levels, yields instant heat loss calculations. STARS suggests suitable radiators and even extends to calculating heating needs for entire buildings, recommending appropriate boilers.

Users can print or save radiator schedules and boiler specifications for reference.

How to Calculate BTU for a Room

For accurate BTU calculations:

1. Measure room dimensions (length, width, height) in meters.
2. Use the BTU formula: BTU = (cubic meters) x (insulation level factor) x (temperature difference factor).
3. Choose radiators with BTU ratings matching or exceeding calculated values.
