ENERJOY I Design & Sizing

Use the chart below to size your rooms. 

Design Guidelines

1)    Determine panel size by selecting a balanced combination of ENERJOY Peopleheaters to cover 10% of the ceiling surface.

2)    Design symmetrical Heatmodule placement in the same way you locate lights to illuminate a room, recognizing areas of high heat loss and special comfort areas.

3)    Take full advantage of the broad dispersion of radiant energy emanating at a 80° angle from the Heatmodule surface. It is all right to oversize[1] by using identical heatmodules to attain symmetry even though the sizing chart calls for unequal or smaller units.

Rules of Thumb:

1) Select a geometrically pleasing design, while allowing a 2' to 4' set off [2] from exterior walls and figuring approximately two times the setoff distance between Heatmodules.

2) Use the following general specifications to determine watts per square foot (W/SF) of room area: Bath areas: 7 W/SF; Living room or corner offices: 6 W/SF; Dens, offices, dining rooms or corner bedrooms: 5W/SF; Kitchens or middle bedrooms: 4 W/SF.  Above 7,000 degree days add 1 W/SF.

[1]The sizing increase or decrease determines cycle frequency- how quickly the thermostat setpoint is satisfied.

[2]There is no set off restriction.   Unnecessary heat loss is minimized

ENERJOY I Heatmodule Selection

(for additional wattages, refer to ENERJOY I specification section)

Additional Guidelines:

Supplemental heating:  basements and super-insulated houses- Use 1-24RCL for each 100 sq. ft. of space--approx. 3-4 W/SF.

Cathedral ceilings or 10' ceilings:
For 12' peak (avg. 10') increase heat panel area by 25%.  Ex.- Use 28RCL instead of 26RCL.
For 16' peak (avg. 12') increase heat panel size by 50%. 

Split Levelbuildings- Add one watt per square foot.

Fireplaces, sliders or skylights- Add one watt per square foot.

Typical ENERJOY® Sizing Examples

MODEL ENERGY CODE SPECIFICATIONS:
Operative Temperature 70°F

BUILDING SPECS: Room Dimensions:15 x 15 x 8; Wall: R-19; Floor: R-19; Ceiling: R-38; Glass: R-2 (graphs assume window size of 3’x4’ & Sliding glass doors of 6’x6’8”); Air changes per hour: 0.25.
CHART USAGE: 1) Compute window percentage of outside wall; 2) Find intersection with Design Temperature; 3) Select ENERJOYHeatmodule(s) to meet wattage.
PLACEMENT: Parallel to and centered with 2’ offset from outside wall; second panel, if required, will be aligned with the first and separated approximately 4’ to 6’, or the distance necessary to achieve geometric layout balance
