Digmixfill Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I mentioned in a thread a while ago that i had a fair bit of external temperature and humidity data for my site. (I've got external temperature, humidity and pressure recorded at minute intervals for many years) I've been playing with sap figures trying to decide which insulation to opt for and would like to take sap numbers and try to get some annual electricity figures for GSHP/ASHP etc. Sap W/C x delta C / CoP for heating duration seems very simplistic and won't take into account the internal temperature change as the building heats up. Not sure if i'm overthinking this. Any pointers to reading greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 @JSHarris has produced a spreadsheet to model heat loss from a building and I can certainly say it gives accurate answers. you input your house details, wall and window U values and it tells you things like KW of heat loss at different temperatures. It accurately predicted the heat loss from my house when it is +20 inside and -10 outside is a shade over 2KW I am sure someone will be along with a link to download it.
