To ensure the ENERGYSAVER operates as designed, an industry standard Btu heat loss
calculation must be performed on the area to be heated.
• This calculation considers all factors that contribute to heat loss such as:
• Area and volume of the space to be heated
• Geographical location and climate where the furnace will be located
• Structural characteristics of the building such as number of windows, exterior doors,
construction material, etc
ENERGYSAVER® Sizing
• The Air Conditioning Contractors’ Association (ACCA) has an
industry standard Btu calculation in their “Manual J” publication.
• A qualified and licensed installer should be familiar with this type
of calculation.
• Visit http://www.acca.org/ for more information.
• Rinnai also offers a basic DV sizing calculator at

• NOTE: Incorrectly sized applications can lead to the ENERGYSAVER short-
cycling or failing to bring the area to the desired set point temperature.
