ᐅ Calculating heating demand to determine the size of the ground source heat pump

My general contractor can only provide a heating load calculation once the detailed construction plans are approved, the trade has been tendered to his 3-4 partner heating contractors, and they in turn have performed the calculation.

Is it possible to do this myself? Are there online calculators available for this? Can companies be hired to do this at reasonable prices?

I need the heating load calculation to determine the size (kW) of the geothermal heat pump and, of course, the required drilling.

Does anyone have advice?

No, the flue pipe goes into the chimney - basically breaking it in now .

Last night I ran it at full power for almost an hour and raised the temperature from 7°C (45°F) and 99 percent humidity to 27°C (81°F) and around 35 percent humidity

Technically, the absolute amount of water in the air remains exactly the same :P but warmer air can hold more moisture and you can ventilate it out. Are you currently trying to dry out your house?

Yes, of course, nothing has changed there – you can clearly see it when the house cools down again.

But yes, I want to slowly get rid of the moisture, and since there is no heating and the remaining workers, including myself, are freezing, I have set up the device for now.

The mechanical ventilation system is also running.

Unfortunately, I can't dry the screed with it.

Yes, and the weather here is really bad for drying, 10°C (50°F) and extremely humid.

Yes, here too – it was the most unfortunate time for the screed.

Rain, rain, rain.
Ventilate or bang...

My dehumidifier blinks when the humidity is over 55% – when I open the window to air the room, the device doesn't react; that's what I meant to say.
