Occupant Activity Schedule. How to input sensible and latent heat gains per person

Hi,

I’m referencing the Comnet database of energy model inputs. They include space-specific sensible and latent occupant heat gain values. I assume the Activity schedule is where this information is input. How should I translate latent and sensible occupant heat gains into the activity schedule? What values/units does the Activity schedule use?

The units for “Activity level” is in Watts/ per person. So convert your Latent and Sensible heat

Hello, I am trying to calculate the loads for a building but different activities take place in different rooms therefore i need to input somehow the sensible and latent gain. Did you manage to do so for each room? and did you manage to select/input the value you wanted? I would really appreciate the help! thanks in advance!
