The number of occupants and activity with which they are employed will have an effect on any heat gains in the space being considered.
The Design Database program provides a facility for providing the number of occupants and the activity they are involved in.
The information selected, along with CIBSE guide A, are used to calculate sensible and latent heat emissions the occupants will be adding to the space.
The available activity types are:
These activity types can be mapped to the CIBSE guide:
A range of heat emissions (sensible and latent) are generated using the activity type over a range of temperatures. Fixed temperature points have been made available via CIBSE. Heat emissions for other temperatures are provided by interpolation. The percentage convection for these gains is taken at 45%
