Number of people mode
|
Defines how the number of people are derived for
rooms of the selected room type. The available modes are:
-
Absolute — Used to define the number of people in terms of persons using an
integer value. Selecting this mode activates the Number of people setting.
- People
per area — Used to define the number of people in terms of persons per units of
area. Selecting this mode activates the People per area setting.
- Area
per person — Used to define the number of people in terms of square units of
area per person. Selecting this mode activates the Area per person setting.

Number of people
|
When enabled, used to enter the number of people
associated with Occupancy components for rooms of the selected room type.
|
People per area
|
When enabled, used to define the number of people
associated with Occupancy components for rooms of the selected room type in
terms of persons per units of area.
|
Area per person
|
Used to define the number of people associated with
Occupancy components for rooms of the selected room type in terms of square
units of area per person.
|
Body latent
|
Sets the latent occupancy gain component for the
Occupancy component for rooms of the selected room type. The Activity type
selected sets the default value, but can be changed at any time. The Body
latent value is used to calculate the full occupancy gains for the room the
Occupancy component was created for.
|
Body sensible
|
Sets the sensible occupancy gain component for the
Occupancy component for rooms of the selected room type. The Activity type
selected sets the default value, but can be changed at any time. The Body
sensible value is used to calculate the full occupancy gains for the room the
Occupancy component was created for.
|
Body convective
|
Sets the body convection occupancy gain component
for the Occupancy component for rooms of the selected room type. The Activity
type selected sets the default value, but can be changed at any time. The
Convection value is used to calculate the full occupancy gains for the room the
Occupancy component was created for.
|
Occupancy schedule
|
Sets the occupancy schedule for rooms of the
selected room type.
|
Activity type
|
Used to select the activity type for rooms of the
selected room type. The activity type the persons the Occupancy component
represents affect total occupancy gains in the room. When an activity type is
selected, Energy Simulator’s energy databases are accessed and the values for Body latent,
Body sensible, and Body convective are automatically updated. For instance,
activity type Heavy work produces much higher Body latent, Body sensible and
Body convective casual heat gain components than activity type Seated at rest
does. The available activity types are:
- Seated
at rest
- Office
work
-
Walking
- Light
work
- Medium
work
- heavy
work

Activity schedule
|
Used to select an activity schedule for the
Occupancy component for rooms of the selected room type. The drop-down list
contains appropriately filtered schedules.
