Method

How the numbers are worked out.

A simplified formula giving an indicative size and running cost. Final sizing is confirmed against the supplier's published ratings.

area = length × width  ·  volume = area × depth × 1,000 L
kW = area × 0.34 × season × temperature × cover × exposure
season: Oct–Apr 1.00 · Sep–May 1.15 · all year 1.40
temperature: ±8% per °C from 28 · cover 0.83 · exposed 1.20
round up to the next size made · cost = heat ÷ COP 5.0 × days × c/kWh, shown ±20%
11kW
$420–$630 / season
