Heat Loss Calculations & Heat Pump Sizing

Sayers Design now provides professional room-by-room heat-loss calculations, heat pump sizing support and detailed calculation reports for heating contractors, heat pump installers, underfloor heating companies and building professionals.

Our service provides accurate, professionally presented heat-loss information without the need for you to complete the calculations in-house.

Our Heat Loss Service Includes

  • Detailed room-by-room heat-loss calculations
  • Individual room heating requirements
  • Total building heat load
  • Heat losses through walls, floors, ceilings, windows and doors
  • Ventilation and infiltration losses
  • Thermal bridging
  • Design temperatures and building conditions
  • Heat pump sizing support
  • Professional, customer-ready calculation reports

Accurate heat-loss calculations are essential when sizing heating systems and heat pumps. For UFH projects, the room-by-room heat loads can also be used alongside the UFH design to ensure the required heating output is identified for each space.

Heat Pump Sizing

Our calculations provide the room-by-room and overall building heat load required to support heat pump sizing and heating system design.

This helps installers select an appropriately sized heat pump based on the calculated heat demand of the property and the relevant design conditions.

The completed calculation can then be used alongside the manufacturer’s performance data to assess the suitability of the proposed heat pump.

Heat Engineer

Our heat-loss calculations and reports are produced using Heat Engineer, professional heat-loss and heating-system design software. Our design team is fully trained in Heat Engineer software.

Calculation Methodology & Standards

Heat Engineer is based on recognised UK heating design standards and guidance, including:

  • BS EN 12831-1:2017 – Design heat load calculations for buildings
  • CIBSE Domestic Heating Design Guide – guidance for domestic heating system design
  • MCS MIS 3005-D – requirements for heat pump system design

The software supports detailed room-by-room heat-loss calculations, including transmission, ventilation and infiltration losses, thermal bridging and the overall building heat load. Its methodology is aligned with BS EN 12831-1:2017 and the MCS heat-load calculation methodology, providing a robust basis for heating system and heat pump sizing.

Please note: Sayers Design is not MCS registered. Our calculations are produced using recognised software and methodologies that support MCS-compliant design. Where an MCS-certified installation or design is required, the completed calculation and final system selection should be reviewed and approved by the appropriately MCS-certified contractor or designer.

A Professional Outsourced Service

Our heat-loss service is designed for companies that already have the project drawings and building information but would prefer to outsource the technical calculations.

Simply provide us with the available project information and drawings, and our design team will complete the calculation and produce a professional report for your project.
