and obtain your heat loss, divide that number by the rating in BTUH per linear foot of your chosen baseboard style and at the average water temperature you will be running.
Then you will know at a minimum how many linear feet you will need. Easy!
Just lay it out along exterior walls and concentrate element below glass first. Go onto interior rooms only once the exterior walls are covered. Cool.
