Final answer:

To calculate the heating load for a wall, multiply the area of the wall by the U-value.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the heating load for a wall, you need to multiply the area of the wall by the U-value. First, convert the height and length of the wall from feet to meters: 8 feet = 2.44 meters, and 600 feet = 182.88 meters. Next, calculate the area of the wall by multiplying the height by the length: 2.44 meters * 182.88 meters = 445.29 square meters. Finally, multiply the area of the wall by the U-value to calculate the heating load: 445.29 square meters * 0.084 btu/h.ft2 = 37.41 btu/h.
