What is heat gain and heat loss? Heat loss, measured in kW or BTUs, reflects the total transfer of heat through the fabric of the building from the inside out. … Heat gain occurs when when warmth comes into the space via radiant heat as the sun shines through the glass. It’s also a sign of a low U value rating.

How do you calculate heat gain?

The formula used to calculate heat gain from thermal conduction (outside ambient temperature during the cooling season) is the same basic formula as the Heat Loss Formula, [(Square Foot Area) x (U-Value) x (Temperature Difference)].
