| Forced Air Energy Consumption |
1100gal = 44,700 kWh + 1500 kWh = 46,200 kWh |
| Hydro Energy Consumption |
840gal = 34,188 kWh |
| iQ Radiant Heat Consumption (oil) |
20,296 kWh = 498.67 gal |

Using our test home in Connecticut, Calorique commissioned a heat loss study and calculated the annual heating costs of an Oil/Forced Air system, Hydro-Radiant system and Calorique iQ Radiant Heat System. Pricing information is from current US average heating oil prices published 2/7/11 and electric prices published 1/14/11 by the US Department of Energy.
NOTES:
- Single Family Home built in 2000
- 3000sf (2516sf living space)
- Avg.Temp = 30.4°/Outside 7°/ Inside 70°/ Degree Days = 6001
- Total Heat Loss: 14,205 watts
- Total iQ Radiant Heat = 2500sf /
7 - 8 watts per sf
