Calculating Heat Loss: How many BTU’s are in a watt?
Heating Mats – DWM
1 watt = 3.41 BTU/hr
Warmup Tip: Through a heat loss calculation you can determine how many BTU’s you will need to supply heat to a space and compensate for heat loss. Once you know how many BTU’s you will need the Warmup team will be happy to design a solution fitted to your specific needs. Need help? Contact us.
