    This document provides instructions for using a heat loss calculator to determine if a domestic building extension meets regulations. The user calculates areas of elements like walls, roof, and windows then enters U-values. The calculator automatically calculates an openings allowance but the user enters additional openings removed by the extension. It compares the total calculated heat loss to the allowable heat loss and confirms if regulations are satisfied.
