Model for sensible heat output of humans to environment dependent on the room temperature

Extends from BaseClasses.PartialHuman (Partial model for internal gains of humans).

Information

Overview

Model for heat output of a person. The model only considers sensible heat. The heat output is dependent on the room temperature.

Concept

A schedule is used as constant presence of people in a room is not realistic. The schedule describes the presence of only one person, and can take values from 0 to 1.

The heat ouput per person is calculated according to SIA 2024 depending on the room temperature. An activity degree can be set to consider different types of activity of the persons.
