Hello,

Still trying to find my feet with the software!

Can any one advise where or how to set how many people & how many computers etc in order to produce more accurate calcs. I can see the Internal gains part which forms part of the template. But i can't see a drop down where it says how many people occupy the space? Same for computers etc?

Can any one help

Hi,

You have found the right place, this is set via Internal Gains. You are interested in the Gain from these sources in the room and also the Power Consumption.

This is generally entered as a Watts per area or straight Watts input based on whatever data you use for say the Computers (some web research might give guidance here if you are unsure).

The occupancy inputs are different as you define a number of people for the space on the internal gain either as area per person or direct number of people and then you define the gain per person.
