Physiology - Activity and Metabolic Rate

Heat production from the human body vs. activity.

Activity	Human Metabolic Rate
Laying down	46	0.8
Sitting, relaxed	58	1.0
Standing, relaxed	70	1.2
Sitting activity (office work, school etc.)	70	1.2
Standing activity (shop, laboratory etc.)	93	1.6
Moving activity (house work, working at machines etc.)	116	2.0
Harder activity (hard work at machines, work shops etc. )	165	2.8

Age and Physical Growth - Weight and Height - Age and typical physical growth of boys and girls - age 2 to 18 years.
Clo - Clothing and Thermal Insulation - Clo is used as a measure of clothes thermal insulation.
Clothing, Activity and Human Metabolism - Human metabolism at low and high activity with different levels of clothing.
Human Body Composition - Composition of the human body.
Human Heat Gain - Heat gain from persons in air conditioned spaces - in btu/hr.
Human Need of Air - Fresh air is required for respiration and for transport of heat and vapor emitted from the human body.
Humans - Required Rest Time - Relaxation rest time vs. working time and activity.
Met - Metabolic Rate - Metabiolic Rate - Met - is used as a measuring unit for human body heat or power production.
Metabolic Heat Gain from Persons - Human metabolic heat gain in air conditioned rooms.
Odor from Persons - Required Ventilation - Required air ventilation to handle odor and smell from persons.
Predicted Mean Vote Index (PMV) - PMV index predicts mean comfort response of a larger group of people.
