I thought I'd measure the heat loss through the kitchen floor...

Along the way I thought I'd measure the temperature stratification at intervals in my kitchen (top to bottom):

188" = 71.1F
175" = 70.7F
148" = 71.1F
116" = 69F
69" = 67.6F
38" = 65.5F
5" = 62.5f
0" (floor surface) = 60.3
bottom of sub floor = 53F
crawlspace = 52F
Ambient (outside) = 48F

Anybody have a formula for calculating heat loss?
