Hello to all

How much cooling BTU (both sensible and latent) do you need the heat given off by a person?

Thanks, Michael.

For Down-and-Dirty Calculations

For back-of-the-napkin calculations and for casual conversation, we often equate the heat generated by a person to be the equivalent of a 100-watt light bulb.

Thanks agian, Michael.
