Energy efficiency in residential buildings is becoming increasingly important. Wellplanned
insulation, heating, indoor environment, and ventilation design has a significant
impact on the physical and mental well-being of occupants. The design of these also has an
impact on the financial requirements of a building. Using Excel, we have calculated the
heating load for a new single dwelling building. We presented the results of two different
methods for calculating the heating load and the influence of thermal bridges.
