After being in business for almost 20 years I got a job at my local municipality. I like it. I'm happy. I started in February. My municipality has grant funds for repairs on homes for low to moderate income home owners.
So. I have a chance to replace a boiler. Gravity fed, natural gas. I re-read the first chapter of "How Come?" and then tried to get a heat loss calculation done.
Nope.
You'd have thought I had sprouted another head the way one contractor looked at me. He confidently told that it's not necessary.
Another contractor told me that a modulating boiler makes a heat loss calculation unnecessary because a modulating boiler knows how many BTUs the house needs at any point in time.
Is the first chapter in "How Come?" still valid?
Is this 2006 thread still valid?

Is this article (2016) still valid?

Thanks for your help,
