Hi there, I have had someone build me one of your sauna's and it just did not seem to get hot enough. I have taken sauna's all my life and like it hot!
The size is 28" w x 50" l and 6' 5" h. according to your formula I would need at least 3 panels and I only have 1. Shouldn't I have have 3 - 4 panels?
Let me know, Thank you! C Kirk

The amount of power you would need is 16 watts per cubic foot. The volume you have is 63 cubic feet. Thus ideally you should have 63 x 16 =1011 watts. One IR or Infrared panel produces 300 watts. so at a minimum you need 3 , which will produce 900 watts. So 4 would be enough.
