A room is heated by a baseboard resistance heater. When the heat losses from the room on a winter day amount to 9000 kJ/h, it is observed that the air temperature in the room remains constant even though the heater operates continuously. Determine the power rating of the heater, in kW.

A retrofitted space-heating system is being considered for a small office building. The system can be purchased and installed for $120,000, and it will save an estimated 300,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electric power each year over a seven-year period. A kilowatt-hour of electricity costs $0.120, and the company uses a MARR of 15% per year in its economic evaluations of refurbished systems. The market value of the system will be $8,200 at the end of seven years, and additional annual operating and maintenance expenses are negligible. Use the benefit–cost method to make a recommendation.
