Agricultural Greenhouse Heating Capacity & BTU Sizing Calculator
Calculate required greenhouse heating capacity in Kilowatts (kW) and BTU/hr, envelope thermal heat loss, and structural glazing U-values to safeguard winter crops against frost.
Calculator Inputs
Live Real-TimeRequired Heating Capacity (kW)
Heating Capacity (BTU/hr)
190,704.5 BTU/hr
Temperature Delta (ΔT °C)
18 °C
Frost Protection Security: Sizing guarantees minimum thermal threshold during peak winter freezes.
Greenhouse Thermal Load
Detailed Calculation Breakdown
Calculation Methodology
Heat Loss (Watts) = Surface Area (m²) * U-Value * (T_inside - T_outside) * 1.15 Infiltration Factor. Heating kW = Watts / 1000. Heating BTU/hr = kW * 3412.14.
