.IDEAS.Buildings.Components.OccupancyType.BaseClasses.PartialOccupancyType .IDEAS.Buildings.Components.OccupancyType.BaseClasses.PartialOccupancyTypeThis record may be used to describe the thermally relevant characteristics of the occupants. Following tables may be used as a guide to choose the numeric values. Some tables and part of this documentation was copied from Buildings.Utilities.Comfort.Fanger.
Human heat production is dissipated through a latent (sweat secretion) and sensible heat load, respectively QlatPp and QsenPp in this record. The table below provides some typical values (W per person) from ASHRAE (2009) page 18.4. The table also provides typical values for radFra for low and high air velocities.
| Activity | QsenPp | QlatPp | radFra low | radFra high |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seated at theatre | 66 | 31 | 0.6 | 0.27 |
| Seated, very light work | 72 | 45 | 0.6 | 0.27 |
| Moderately active office work | 73 | 59 | 0.58 | 0.38 |
| Standing, light work, walking | 73 | 59 | 0.58 | 0.38 |
| Walking, standing | 73 | 73 | 0.58 | 0.38 |
| Light bench work (factory) | 81 | 140 | 0.49 | 0.35 |
Clothing (parameter ICl) is defined in terms of clo units. Clo is a unit used to express the thermal insulation provided by garments and clothing ensembles, where 1 clo = 0.155 (m^2*K/W) (ASHRAE 55-92).
The following table is obtained from ASHRAE page 8.8
| Clothing ensemble | clo |
|---|---|
| ASHRAE Standard 55 Winter | 0.90 |
| ASHRAE Standard 55 Summer | 0.50 |
| Walking shorts, short-sleeve shirt | 0.36 |
| Trousers, long-sleeve shirt | 0.61 |
| Trousers, long-sleeve shirt, suit jacket | 0.96 |
| Trousers, long-sleeve shirt, suit jacket, T-shirt | 1.14 |
| Trousers, long-sleeve shirt, long-sleeve sweater, T-shirt | 1.01 |
| Same as above + suit jacket, long underwear bottoms | 1.30 |
| Sweat pants, sweat shirt | 0.74 |
| Knee-length skirt, short-sleeve shirt, panty hose, sandals | 0.54 |
| Knee-length skirt, long-sleeve shirt, full slip, panty hose | 0.67 |
| Knee-length skirt, long-sleeve shirt, half slip, panty hose, long sleeve sweater | 1.10 |
| Long-sleeve coveralls, T-shirt | 0.72 |
| Insulated coveralls, long-sleeve, thermal underwear, long underwear bottoms | 1.37 |
One met is defined as 58.2 Watts per square meter which is equal to the energy produced per unit surface area of a seated person at rest.
