Architectural Designer Structural Underfloor Heating Engineer
About this Gig
Need heat loss, heating load, U-value, or HVAC sizing calculations for your building? I provide accurate, code-compliant calculations so your heating system is sized correctly the first time, no guesswork, no oversized boilers, no failed inspections.
What I calculate:
- Room-by-room fabric and ventilation heat loss
- Total building heating load (kW/BTU)
- U-values for walls, roofs, floors, windows, doors
- HVAC/radiator/boiler sizing recommendations
- Design temperatures for your building's location
- Air infiltration heat loss
Standards I work with:
- EN 12831 (Europe)
- ASHRAE (USA)
- CIBSE (UK)
- Local building codes, tell me your country/region
What you'll receive:
- Full calculation report (PDF)
- Editable calculation workbook (Excel)
- Room-by-room breakdown table

FAQ
What's the difference between heat loss and heating load?
Heat loss is the energy lost through a building's fabric and ventilation; heating load is the total capacity your heating system needs to offset that loss and maintain comfort — I calculate both.
What do you need from me to start?
Floor plans and your building's location, minimum. I'll flag any assumptions I make on missing details.
Do you also size HVAC equipment?
Yes,
Do you provide the UFH pipe layout?
Yes. The pipe layout can include pipe spacing, heating zones, circuits/loops, and manifold positioning depending on the selected package.
