You would want to determine how much energy is required to keep the space around your desired temperature on a cold day.

The easiest method of tracking the energy usage of an existing heater either by using a tool to monitor its energy use throughout the day.

Once you have a good idea of it's energy use (in KWh), you would divide that by "(*24)/1000" to find the number of miners needed to consume the same amount of energy.

Example:

If a 1500 watt heater were to need to run for 24 hours straight to maintain the temperature a space (unlikely):

1.5 KWh (1500 watts) x 24 (hours) =

36 KWh

If your Bitaxe uses 16 watts per hour, we'd convert to KWh (divide by 1000) =

0.016 KWh

Next, multiply by 24 to determine daily energy usage:

0.016 LWh x 24 = 0.384

Now divide the energy required to heat the space by the daily usage of the bitaxe:

36 KWh / 0.384 KWh = 93.75

In this example, where a 1500 watt heater needed to run for 24 hours straight to maintain temp, you would require 93.75 Bitaxes to maintain the same temperature in the space.

Hope this was helpful!
