A conservatory has, due to its usually four external walls (including the roof) and their significantly lower thermal resistance, a multiple of the heat demand of a living space with solid walls. Therefore, for energetic reasons, a conservatory should also remain unheated.
Can one roughly estimate the heat demand of a wood-aluminum conservatory with approximately 90m³ enclosed volume that is lived in?
30m² floor area, about 41m² post-and-beam construction, 35m² roof area, all with 1.0 glazing. Posts 5x12/16cm (corners 16x12cm), beams 5x10/16cm, rafters 8x20cm, purlin 14x34cm, all spruce glued laminated timber.
Many thanks in advance for a brief information on how much higher the heating energy demand is compared to a similarly sized living room built to old or new construction standards?
