@Leiani: Ambient is the surrounding temperature, it's not an average or an idea. The ambient temperature of a given space could be 30 degrees or 200 degrees. To say, Humans function so much better when the temperature is ambient could mislead some people.
How much energy does it take to raise the temperature of an average room by 10 degrees? Assume the room is about 300 square feet and is in a well insulated building.Assume the temperature of the room is to be raised from 60 degrees F to 70 degrees F, or whatever makes the calculations easy.Assume the ceiling height is average, and that there are minimal losses (maybe some heat escapes via windows or under the doorway).ssuming the height of the room is about 10 ft tall, the total volume of the room is 10 x 300 = 3000 cu.ft. Amount of energy needed to raise temperature is given by the formula: specific heat capacity of substance x mass of substance x temperature difference.
