A conditioned space has a calculated heat loss at the design maximum heating day of 10,000 BTUs / Hr to maintain an interior temperature of 70 F. We will use a hydronic baseboard style convector to heat the space. The style we have chosen comes in standard lengths. At rated temperature and flow of hydronic heating fluid for each 1 foot of length the heater will add 750 BTUs /Hr to the room. What length of heater can just maintain the temperature on the worst day? For this example we are ignoring other sources of heat loss such as ventilation or drafts.
