[TRNSYS-users] multiplication factor and effective moisture capacitance estimation

[David BRADLEY]

Stefano,
  I have looked a bit in the literature and have seen that values 
between 5 and 15 are typical. Completely unscientifically, I usually use 
10 for a "typical" room. I would use a higher value if I were dealing 
with a room that had a lot of furnishings or a lot of papers. I 
typically use a value of 5 for corridors and lobbies since they tend to 
be less heavily furnished.
Best,
  david
