Cramer,
ASHRAE's GRP 158 Cooling and Heating Load Calculation Manual indicates heat gain from a child is taken as 75% of adult male, see attached.

Hi All,

Has anyone out there every come across data for the heat gain of children (for cooling load calcs)? I searched the ASHRAE handbooks but didnt find anything, just the usual numbers for adults in the thermal comfort chapter. My current thought is to use the adult numbers adjusted by mass, but if there's real data that'd be great. Any hints would be appreciated.
