People and Heat Gain

The table below indicates the sensible and latent heat loss from people. The values can be used to calculate heat loads handled by air conditioning systems.

• Tabulated values are based on 78^oF for dry-bulb temperature
• Adjusted total heat value for sedentary work, restaurant, includes 60 Btu/hr for food per individual (30 Btu/h sensible and 30 Btu/h latent heat).
• For bowling figure one person per alley actually bowling, and all others as sitting (400 Btu/h) or standing (550 Btu/h)
