BTU Calculator
Calculate the BTU (British Thermal Units) needed to heat or cool your space. Understand how room size, insulation, climate, and other factors affect your HVAC requirements.
Step 1: Room Dimensions
Understanding Room Dimensions
BTU calculation is based on room volume (length × width × height). Larger rooms require more BTU to heat or cool effectively. Standard room height is typically 8-9 feet.
Step 2: Environmental Factors
About BTU Calculation
BTU (British Thermal Unit) measures heating/cooling capacity. Factors like insulation, climate, and room usage significantly affect BTU requirements. Proper calculation ensures efficient HVAC system sizing.

BTU Requirement Analysis
BTU Calculation Formula
BTU = (Length × Width × Height) × Insulation Factor × Climate Factor × Sun Factor
The BTU requirement is calculated by determining the room volume and adjusting for insulation quality, climate conditions, sunlight exposure, and occupancy. Each factor modifies the base BTU requirement.
