[Bldg-sim] heat gain of children?

[Robert Gengelbach]

In the Ashrae fundamentals handbook there is a table of heat gains from
people at different activity levels  in the non residential heating and
cooling loads chapter( Chapter 18 of the  2009 version).  Children should be
calculated at 75% of the adult male heat gain value per that table, it has
been in the ASHRAE handbook for years.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] heat gain of children?

 

Hi All,

Has anyone out there every come across data for the heat gain of children
(for cooling load calcs)? I searched the ASHRAE handbooks but didnt find
anything, just the usual numbers for adults in the thermal comfort chapter.
My current thought is to use the adult numbers adjusted by mass, but if
there's real data that'd be great. Any hints would be appreciated.
