Stelrad Launches Radiator Sizing And Heat Loss Calculator

Stelrad Radiators has released the latest updated version of its popular ‘STARS Heatloss calculator’.

The latest version offers an even simpler way to get sizing of radiators right, first time. And what’s even better, it’s free! Simply click on to the Stelrad web site at www.stelrad.com, click on ‘STARS’, then register – and you’re away. It’s essential that radiators used in a home are the right size for the room and for the building construction. This ensures that homeowners are not paying over the odds for a radiator that’s too big for the job and it means they won’t be paying higher energy bills than they should be, either. Stelrad Product Manager Chris Harvey explains: “STARS enables instantaneous heat loss calculations using the unique room planner, where you can literally drag the walls of the room using your computer mouse, and the output figure is calculated in real time. “With the STARS application being online, you can log in from anywhere if you have web access, and use your account immediately. As a major bonus, your account will remember all your previous projects, so you can easily duplicate similar projects to save time and hassle.” STARS emphasis is on energy efficiency, increasing insulation levels and strict Building Regulations, all of which create additional difficulties when striving to achieve accurate heatloss and U value calculations.

It’s available as a download only – simply click on www.stelrad.com, click on STARS, and follow the instructions!
