Thanks Jean marais
I am modelling an existing building and need to put in a capacity in watts, not have E+ size the capacity. That way, if the installed radiator is too small, E+ will reveal this.
The EU and US rating methods are both simplifications and E+ simplifies what proportion of output is radiative and convective. The EU method states that the following 2 conditions have the same output.
Room at 15C
Supply at 70 C
Return at 60 C
Room at 25
Supply at 80 C
Return at 70 C
In both cases the difference between average water temperature and room air temperature is 50C.
