In warmer climates, you may need only 30 to 35 BTU per hour per square foot to heat your house adequately. In colder climates, you may need up to 50 to 60 BTU/h/ft 2. In general, the further from the equator you live, the greater the number of BTU/h/ft 2 you need, but weather patterns and geography modify this somewhat.
A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is an approximation of the amount of energy required to heat 1lb (one pound) of water from 39Â°F to 40Â°F (degrees Fahrenheit), and is roughly equal to 1.055 KJoules.Simplified, 1 BTU is roughly the amount of heat produced by burning a single wooden match.TUs are âBritish Thermal Unitsâ, the unit in which radiator efficiency is measured. Factors such as room dimensions, window size and wall material are used to calculate the required outputs of radiators, in order to adequately heat a room.
