BuildIQ / HOME SYSTEMS
Enter the home area, occupants, energy standard, location and selected systems. The calculator combines heating, hot water, ventilation, cooling and EV demand into an annual energy estimate and a systems budget.
The main drivers are the home's energy standard, climate, floor area, occupants and selected equipment. Heat-pump efficiency affects electricity use, while solar and battery sizing are estimated from annual demand.
Depending on your choices, the result can include a heat pump, hot-water energy, solar, battery storage, mechanical ventilation, electrical work and smart-home systems, plus estimated annual energy use and cost.
The result does not replace a heating-load calculation, ventilation design or electrical design. Solar and battery sizing is indicative and is not a detailed hour-by-hour simulation.
Compare system options and use the result as a starting point for installer discussions. Confirm final equipment sizes and design decisions once the building parameters are known.
It shows an indicative capacity range for the home inputs. Final sizing should follow a proper heating-load calculation.
It is a planning estimate for budgeting and comparing options, not a system design.
The calculator uses BuildIQ data that is updated periodically. It does not fetch real-time energy prices.
Yes. It can estimate solar capacity, annual generation and battery capacity for the entered home.
No. It helps with budget and scope planning but does not replace heating, ventilation or electrical design.
