Ideal heating: Calculation thermal energy

Hey, i implemented a simple room model in matlab (incl. weather data) - output is the roomTemperature. Now i want to calculate the ideal thermal energy which is neede for a constant room temperature. Is it common to calculate it with constant mass flow or constant supply-temperature?

Given: The room-volume, the room temperature I want to calculate: The power of an idealHeater (each timestep)

Q = c * m * dT --> ??

Thank you very much
