If it takes 10 hours for the temperature to rise by one degree in a windowless room measuring 3x3x3 mts with a 1 kw radiator on a 25 kw boiler one might say that the domestic heating system was failing.
My question:
Is there a standard laid down somewhere for domestic heating and if so what might it be called and where might I look for it?
My guess is that there is a standard and it's something like the temperature of a volume of air needs to rise by an amount over time for a given amount of gas burned.
My guess is that the equipment required is a gas meter a thermometer a stopwatch a tape measure and a lot of calculations and several mugs of strong tea..
My guess is that 'the radiators get hot and it seem OK to me" is not a test but an opinion.
Can I smell burning pants?
