Information

This occupancy model assumes a constant latent and sensible load per person. We assume this heat gain is caused by the metabolic combustion of suger, resulting into a corresponding CO2 production. The CO2 mass flow rate is added only if the Medium contains CO2. Latent heat is only added if the Medium is a moist air medium. Sensible heat is emitted both as convective and radiant heat using a fixed weighing factor.
