Pellets energy calculator, Hungary

Pellets energy calculator- The energy calculator is intended to provide  information about the cost difference between conventional fuels and the use  of pellet firing. The calculation determines the approximate heat demand of the building and the annual specific energy consumption of specific geometry of the building, the general data of the thermal boundary and structures.
Thus, the heat demand calculation is only an accurate order of merit, however, sufficient energy prices differencing exact branch enter the expected heating costs.
