William,
 
Model it as you would any other source BTU to the appropriate space(s).
Quantify and schedule the heat output throughout the hating season.
It's that simple if you know when it is used and how much heat it puts
out.  Otherwise you must talk to the owner/occupant, or do some research
or some educated guesswork.  It can make a big difference in the monthly
heating kWh.

Hi everyone,

I am modeling a cabin log that is heated by electric baseboards and a
fireplace that is consistently used during cold weather.  

How can I integrate the fireplace load to the model, what would be the
approach?

 

Thanks for the help.
