[Bldg-sim] heat gain of children?

[Dr. Nader Chalfoun]

A 5' 8" tall 154 lb male surface area is 19.6 s.f. (Du Bois) and
produces about 400 Btu/hr (117 W) at seated at rest.

Maybe you can do the math

> 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.

> Has anyone out there every come across data for the heat gain of children

> My current thought is to use the adult numbers adjusted by mass, but if
