Hi all,
After a small bit of advice.
I've been tasked with getting National Grid to relocate a gas supply pipe from one side of a building to the other.
I've filled in all the correct forms, but they are asking me to specify the hourly peak and annual gas loads.
The shop unit has been empty for over two years, and I can't use the last bill to estimate the loads as the shop was previously used as a gas fire showroom to the new unit's usage won't bear any relation to the previous.
The refurbed unit will only have a small combi boiler (30kw?) installed for hot water and heating.
How would I go about calculating the hourly peak and annual gas loads?
I found a formula which went something like this:
Hourly - 30kw/10.76 = 2.78kw (not sure what the 10.76 signifies)
Annual - 2.78 * 8 * 365 * 15% = 1221kw
Where 8 is the number of hours a day the boiler will be on
Am I close, or completely missing the correct figure?
Any help would be much appreciated.
