# How to Access Power Consumption & Heat Load in X-DRAW design?

**Overview:**

The Power Consumption & Heat Load feature in XTEN-AV helps users analyze and manage the electrical power consumption and heat load of products included in a project's Bill of Materials (BOM). It provides a consolidated, project-level report displaying individual product power consumption, total power consumption, and overall heat load. Users can manually edit power consumption values, use AI to populate missing values, and download the report in PDF or XLS format. This feature helps AV professionals evaluate equipment power requirements, estimate heat generation, and plan project installations more effectively.

* On Search & Add Products page click on the **View Design Doc** button.

* If a product's power consumption value is missing or needs to be corrected, you can manually update the value in the **Power Consumption (W each)** column.

* Once you click the Fill with AI button, a confirmation pop-up will appear informing you that the existing values will be replaced. Click Replace to proceed. The system will then populate the power consumption values using AI.

**How** **Is** **Heat** **Load** **Calculated?**

Heat load represents the amount of heat generated by the electrical equipment included in your design. In X-DRAW, the heat load is calculated based on the total power consumption of the products added to the BOM.
The total power consumption is converted from Watts (W) into BTU/hr (British Thermal Units per hour).

**Formula:**
Heat Load (BTU/hr) = Total Power Consumption (W) × 3.412
**Example:**
Suppose the total power consumption of all products in your design is 1,000 Watts.
The heat load will be calculated as follows:
1,000 × 3.412 = 3,412 BTU/hr
Therefore, the estimated total heat load of the design is **3,412 BTU/hr**.

* Once you have reviewed the Power Consumption and Heat Load details, you can download the generated report in either of the following formats:
1. **PDF:** Download the report as a PDF file.
2. **XLS:** Export the report as an Excel spreadsheet.

**Notes**

* The Power Consumption & Heat Load report is generated at the project level and includes products added to the project's Bill of Materials (BOM).
* The report displays the power consumption of individual products, total project power consumption, and the overall heat load.
* Users can manually edit the Power Consumption (W each) value for individual products directly in the report.
* AI can be used to populate missing power consumption values, reducing manual data entry.
* Total power consumption and heat load are automatically recalculated when power consumption values are updated.
* The report helps users estimate the electrical power and heat requirements of equipment included in an AV project.
* Users can download the report in PDF or XLS format for documentation and future reference.
* The accuracy of the total power consumption and heat load calculations depends on the availability and correctness of the product-level power consumption values.
