Default CWI - how to measure effectiveness?

You could get a reasonable estimate using the whole house boiler sizing
method to estimate the total heatloss of your house and do the calculation
with and without CWI.

There are links at

online calculators, and a spreadsheet with which you can easily do what-if
calculations.
