Sizing of boilers for residential buildings. Abstract. The tendency towards better insulated and energy friendly ventilated buildings leads to an ever decreasing building heat load. On the other hand, the installed boiler size is not altered. Often this is due to requirements of the coupled domestic hot water production, or worse, due to the

Boiler size describes the heat output of a boiler in energy units, not the physical size of the boiler. Manufacturers measure boiler output in British thermal units (BTUs) per hour or boiler horsepower (BHP). BHP measurements usually only apply to very powerful and large capacity boilers, since one BHP equals 33,475 BTUs per hour.

Obviously the more you have, the more power the boiler will need to deliver to make sure they are all piping hot. As a ball-park estimate, you'll need the following power outputs for the number of radiators for a combi boiler: Up to 10 radiators: 24–27 kW. 10 to 15 radiators: 28–34 kW. 15 to 20 radiators: 32–40 kW. Up to 10 radiators

primarily for use in sizing boilers for homes, but in many cases can also be used for small commercial buildings. All too often replacement boilers are sized simply by matching the rating of the old boiler. This can result in an oversized boiler which wastes fuel—or an undersized unit which will not heat the building.

comparison, many old boilers have AFUE ratings of only 55–65%.3 Today, there are many residential natural gas furnaces and boilers that have AFUE ratings of 95% or higher. AFUE ratings do not apply to the larger boilers used in multi-family apartment buildings and commercial buildings. These boilers are typically rated for efficiency
