People Heat Gains and CO2

Post by Nicko11 »

In Microflo, how do you assign both a heat gain and CO2 source to a component used to reflect a person?

CO2 source can be added only to a source component. Heat gain can be applied to both solid and source components.

You can surround a solid person component with a CO2 source component.

Just out of curiosity, how many such components are you adding?

Try not to add too many. If you are planning on adding many, just add a large source component encompassing all 'people' with equivalent heat and CO2 gains.
