I found this online.
Heat loss represents the energy required to keep a room at a given temperature on the coldest days. It is typically measured in kilowatts (kW) or British Thermal Units (BTUs). A more technical definition for heat loss is the total transfer of heat through an object. It can occur through four main processes.
Four Types of Heat Loss
Whether the subject at hand is the human body, a building, or a mechanical component, there are four types of heat and thermal energy loss to be aware of:
Convection: Convection occurs when heat is transferred from one surface to another through fluids — either gases or liquids.
Conduction: When heat travels through a solid material to whatever is outside of it via direct contact, this movement is called conduction.
Radiation: Electromagnetic radiation moves energy through air, though it is usually not seen. This type of thermal loss is not effective for ambient temperatures. The sun is one common example of electromagnetic radiation in nature.
Evaporation: Evaporation occurs when a fluid’s latent heat takes in the necessary energy to change into a gas.
If skin temperature is greater than that of the surroundings, the body can lose heat by radiation and conduction.
So 10.61 kw is the heat loss from my entire house on the coldest of days?

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.
