Radiant Baseboard Sizing

I have my simulation up and running and want to eliminate the sizing aspects of the simulation runs. I have ran my simulation once and am looking at my ZoneHVAC:Baseboard:RadiantConvective:Water element. I am trying to fill out the values that were autosized in this variable and am unsure what the output results represent and what the units are. I took a screenshot from the tabular report where I get the sizing of the equipment. image description

The column U-factor times Area [W/C]. I need to know how to turn that value into the Heating Design Capacity value that is currently autosized in my model.

If anyone can shed any light on this that would be extremely helpful.

Thanks
