Example: Heating or cooling capacity is calculated at 150 W per square meter in an average home or light occupied business with a ceiling height of 2.2 m Up to 150 Wh/m2 of power can be saved with insulated ceilings. E.g. Heating electrically a floor area of 100 square meters for a period of 3 months. The example is showing the extra cost of heating if additional insulation is employed. | ||||||||||
