Older single pane windows are very “lossy” as far as their ability to isolate different temperatures on either side. Newer, modern windows that are double or triple glazed do a far better job of isolating temperatures. • Determine number of walls of the space that are exterior walls. • Determine if the exterior walls and space directly above and below the room are insulated. A space below an attic with insulated floors or located above a basement are considered insulated. • Determine if any

Most spaces require 10 watts per square foot of space for homes built since the 1970’s. A 12 foot by 12 foot room has 144 sq/ft. Assuming a ceiling height less than 8 feet, this room should be heated comfortably with 1500 watts of heat. 1500 watts of heat is a to
