    What you need

    What you need to do is calculate the heat loss for the space in question and then divide that by the usable square footage of the floor (the portion of the floor that can be used for heating purposes). For example, if you are palanning on heating the kitchen, be sure to calculate the total square footage of the room and then subtract from that the footprint area of the undercounter cabinets.

    However, there is no such thing as a quick and easy method of calculating the heat loss rate of the space.
