Hi all,
I hope you're well!
I'm a graduate student at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, and am looking at ways of improving heat loss in Gers.
I've built a simple model that tries to capture heat loss through thermal conductivity and air leakage to determine how many BTUs / hr are lost through various parts of the Ger.
The model is here in this file:

I've also attached the file below.
Given your expertise, I want to reach out the forum to ask for any thoughts or feedback on the model?
Specifically:
- Do the R-Value assumptions look reasonable?
- Does the heat loss through air loss look reasonable?
- How does the total compare to your own experience or numbers you've seen elsewhere?
- How many BTUs do your
systems generate? Is this sufficient?
- Have I done anything stupid?
Thank you in advance for your help - I really appreciate your support!
Cheers,
Jesse
