Heat production per person = 100 Watts or 356 Btu's
Posted: Fri Nov 19, 2004 1:06 amI noticed in several messages that people are posting 1000 BTU's as the heat output of a person. That's about 3 time too high.
Fromhttp://ergo.human.cornell.edu/studentdownloads/DEA350notes/Thermal/thcondnotes.html (lots more info there:
"The total heat production of an "average" person at rest per hour is... 105 watts (356 Btu's) per hour."
