Estimated size calorifier

Hi, what estimated size calorifier would be needed for a 5200 square meter college building.

Speak to a heating design consultant.

The Design Consultant would also need more information about the buildings use.
Is the College for Food or Beauty / Hair related courses, where high volumes of hot water would be used?
Or other courses where there's a lot of hand washing involved or Sport related where showering would have a high demand?

Is the building a tower or is it spread out meaning more than 1 Calorifier may be more economical?

Its an applied science and IT building spread over 5 floors. there is approx. 1000 students occupancy. There is 5 floors with 10 rooms approx on each with about 2 rads in each, so about 100 radiators. would a 500L calorifier be enough?

Sounds like a big job, there must be money in the pot to have it properly designed.
