This heating system sizing calculator is based on the Prescriptive Requirements of the 2018 and 2021 Washington State Energy Code (WSEC) . This tool will
calculate heating loads only. ACCA procedures for sizing cooling systems should be used to determine cooling loads.
Please complete the green drop-downs and boxes that are applicable to your project. As you make selections in the drop-downs for each section, some values will
be calculated for you. If you do not see the selection you need in the drop-down options, please contact the WSU Energy Program at energycode@energy.wsu.edu
or (360) 956-2042 for assistance.
