Heat-Load Calculation

From room measurements to heat-pump sizing

Scan rooms with LiDAR or enter measurements by hand. Review the building data, calculate the heat load with Reonic’s UK calculator and use the results to plan the heat pump.

Heat-load calculation with Reonic

From the first room to the customer proposal

Capture the building, review the assumptions and calculate the heating demand in one project. The results give you a basis for choosing the heat pump and explaining the proposal to the customer.

Heat loads for UK projects

Use Reonic’s UK calculator with the room measurements and building data you have reviewed.

Capture a building three ways

Scan rooms with a LiDAR iPhone or iPad, trace an imported floor plan, or enter rooms by hand. Every method produces the same room model.

A fast indication first

Start with an envelope-based indication, then capture the rooms when the project needs more detail.

Size the heat pump

Dimension the heat pump against the calculated load and set the bivalence point, the outside temperature at which the backup heater takes over.

Hydraulic balancing on tap

Reonic derives the valve settings and flow rates for every radiator, and flags the ones that are undersized for a swap.

Results in the customer proposal

Use the calculated heating demand in the energy simulation and show the proposed heat pump and its economics in the offer.

Capture a building however you work

Geometry is the slow part of any heat-load calculation. Reonic gives you three ways to get it in, so the method fits the site instead of the other way round.

Features
LiDAR scan – walk the rooms with an iPhone or iPad Pro and capture walls, windows and doors automatically
From a floor plan – import the customer's plan or an architect's drawing, scale it to a known dimension, and trace the rooms over it at true scale

Manual entry – works on any device, including Android, and feeds the same calculation

Automatic floor-plan recognition is coming – read rooms straight off a plan, without tracing
Room-by-room heat-load result

Review the inputs behind the result

Review each room’s geometry, materials, windows, doors and heating system in the Portal. Adjust the proposed U-values and building assumptions before running the UK heat-load calculation.

Features
Room and building data reviewed in one project
Editable materials and U-values

Building assumptions including airtightness and target temperatures

Calculated heating demand for heat-pump sizing

Carry the heating plan into the proposal

Use the calculated heat load to choose the heat pump and check its performance at the design temperature. Reonic calculates the heat pump’s electricity demand for the energy simulation, so your proposal can show the equipment and its expected running costs together.

Features
Heat-pump sizing against the calculated load
Heating and hot-water demand included in the energy simulation

Combined heat pump, solar and battery proposals

Frequently asked questions

It estimates how much heating power the building needs at the design temperature. Reonic uses the room and building data you review to give you a basis for heat-pump sizing.

UK projects use Reonic’s UK heat-load calculator. Capture the building data and review the assumptions in the Portal before using the result for sizing.

Yes. Import the plan, scale it to a known dimension and trace the rooms. Review the geometry and materials before calculating the heat load.

An iPhone or iPad Pro with a LiDAR sensor (iPhone 12 Pro or newer Pro models, iPad Pro from 2020). No extra hardware. On devices without LiDAR you enter rooms manually or trace a floor plan, and the calculation runs the same way.

A full calculation, from capturing the rooms to the finished report, takes under 15 minutes for a typical single-family home. A quick envelope-based indication takes a couple of minutes.

Once the heat load is known, Reonic's dimensioning table sizes the heat pump against it and sets the bivalence point, the outside temperature below which the backup heater steps in. You pick the pump that covers the load at your design temperature without being oversized.

Compare the heat pump’s output with the calculated load at the design temperature. The selected heat pump also feeds the energy simulation and the customer proposal.

Yes. Reonic brings the heat pump, solar and battery into the same project, energy simulation and customer offer.
