Heat Loss For Complex Structures

Find out how to model build types like barn conversions or stately homes in h2x:

Override Internal Walls: Ensure thicker internal walls account for internal temperatures.

Modelling and Editing Complex Room Shapes: Choose from various vaulted ceiling layouts to match your project, ensuring precise and tailored heat load assessments.

Account for Internal Unheated Spaces: Override wall types to account for adjacent unheated internal spaces.

CASE STUDIES
Award-Winning Heating Design

"Using h2x was pivotal, allowing for precise heat loss calculations, pipe sizing and flow rates for each room.

This level of detail ensured that the heating load accurately matched each space's requirements, minimising energy waste and maximising comfort.

The strategic placement of heat pumps and careful sizing of pipework were crucial in maintaining minimal pressure drops over an 18-metre distance."
