Calculator for the Heating Power of Humans
Calculates with how many watts a number of people heat. By burning food in their bodies, humans generate energy, which, among other things, is used to maintain their body temperature. This energy is released to the outside as heat. The more active a person is, the higher is this heating capacity. Clothing keeps the heat on people and thus reduces the heating output. The figures relate to adults of average height and are rough estimates.
Heat output during activitySleep: 80W Sedentary work: 120 watts Light physical exertion: 200 watts Heavy physical exertion: 500 watts |
Clothing factor(Almost) no clothes: 1 Normal clothes: 2 Winter clothes: 3 |
The formula for the calculation is: Pg = n * P / f
Example: 8 people with light summer clothing (f=1.5) in an office with mostly sedentary work but who have to get up and walk around frequently (P=140) heat with 747 watts.

Here you can convert metric units into customary and imperial units and convert temperature units.
