Finnish term or phrase: BRM2
What does this stand for as a measurement of specific heat (kWh/brm2)?

Is B brutto?

Would GSM be the equivalent in English or do I leave BRM untranslated?

many thanks for your help?

Use the abbreviation GSM, the entire translation will have a different meaning if you do not. When I worked in civil engineering I used it in translations.
