Comparison of Heat Loss by Sample Building Component Windows vs. Walls Formula: Heat Loss (BTU/hr) = UA Where U = Thermal transmittance Where A = Area Where = Delta T (temperature difference) Use the formula for calculating heat loss to discuss window replacement as an energy savings measure. Use the sample numbers provided, or real numbers from local audits, standard existing conditions and replacement materials. Compare effectiveness of window replacement that doubles or triples thermal performance of a single pane window to blown-in insulation that increases thermal performance of walls and attics. Window Section Window Assumptions: Window area = 6 ft2 Single pane glass R value = .90 Outside temperature = 30F Inside temperature = 70F Process Convert R value to U value: U=1/R 1/.90 = 1.1 U = 1.1 Calculate the Delta T Delta T = inside temp. – Outside temp. 70 -30 = 40 Delta T = 40 Calculate heat loss (BTU/hr.) BTU/hr = UA 1.1 x 6 x 40 = 264 Window section = 264 BTU/hr 886473599 Wall Section Wall Assumptions: Wall area = 6 ft2 Wall R value = 14 Outside temperature = 30F Inside temperature = 70F Process Convert R value to U value: U=1/R U=1/14 U = .07 Calculate the Delta T Delta T = inside temp. – Outside temp. 70 -30 = 40 Delta T = 40 Calculate heat loss (BTU/hr.) UA =Heat loss (BTU/hr) .07 x 6 x 40 = 16.8 Heat loss through Wall section = 16.7 BTU/hr 886473599
