| Comments | This is for a small cabin located in mccall, idaho. The cabin has one bedroom, one bathroom, which have a loft above that is open to the living and kitchen. The loft has a ceiling that is 4 feet high on the edges, and 8 feet in the middle. The area of the loft is 1.5 stories high. The ceiling area over the kitchen is only one story, but it is vaulted, with 8 foot edges and a 12 foot central height. |

*NOTE* - The heating demand load we have estimated for this project is likely to be inaccurate. There are many variables that factor into a building’s heating demand, and although square footage and insulation value are major factors, many other building variables contribute. We compared the results of this tool against hundreds of custom manual J reports and found that this tool predicted the demand load within +/- 10% of actual calculated load in 25% of the manual J results we compared to. This tool has limited accuracy when predicting the demand load of a single project but is very accurate at predicting average demand loads on a macro scale.
To get a more accurate estimation of the final demand load range for your unique project, we suggest you run this tool at all three insulation value options (High, Medium, Low). 90% of the manual J reports we compared to have a demand load that fits within the three predictions generated by running this report at all three insulation values.
Arctic takes no responsibility for any performance issues resulting from using this estimation to size a heat pump. We recommend that every customer has a manual J conducted before purchasing heating and cooling equipment. A manual J is the most accurate way to predict a building’s demand load.
