If your asking for heating degree days = 6529

Rule of thumb - heating lots. Cooling, not quite so much.

Type of building makes a big difference, but for intial oversizing 50 Btu/hr ft2 for heating and 35 Btu/hr ft2 for cooling will give you an idea of the order of magnitude.

Rules of thumb are the cause of lots of lawsuits against professionals.....

Yes I understand rules of thumb are cause of lawsuits. I’ve only used it to give me a direction. I will be doing a CLTD calculation

Thanks again you guys are grate.
