Home Energy Audit Calculator

Estimate heat losses and general insulation status of your house structures.

🏠

Input Parameters

Enter details for calculation.

Hourly Heat Loss

3692 BTUs/hr
💡

Expert Tip

Heat flows from warm to cold. Upgrading wall insulation R-value from 13 to 21 cuts heat loss by almost 40%.

Calculation Methodology & Details

📐

Formula

Heat Loss (BTU/hr) = (Area × Temp_Difference) / R-Value

Applies Fourier's conduction formula to estimate wall heat transmission rates.
