[Bldg-sim] indoor gains for passive house

In SI, the main Passivhaus criteria are:

    * 15kWh/(m2.annum) space specific heating energy or 10W/m2 peak
      heating load. This does NOT include energy used in hot water,
      cooling, fans, pumps and receptacle loads. However, gains from
      these loads can offset heating energy
    * 120kWh/(m2.annum) primary energy (DOES include Hot water, cooling,
      fans, pumps and receptacle loads)
    * N50 < 0.6ACH
    * + a bunch of stuff on limiting u-values and thermal comfort

In answer to your original question (and depending on how pedantic you 
want to be) I can recommend:

    * PHPP already has some good default values (I thin)
    * The energy star website can be used for computers and peripherals
      http://www.eu-energystar.org/en/en_007.shtml
    * If you have a copy of the CIBSE TM22 worksheet (let me know if you
      don't) you can quickly assess other electrical loads using Nominal
      power, utilisation and operational hours in the "SysPlant" tab
    * For energy labelled goods you could also try the pdfs available at
      http://ec.europa.eu/energy/efficiency/labelling/labelling_en.htm
      they contain details of how the energy labels are derived under
      standard conditions. Some of the terms will probably be a bit
      vague to follow

Cheers

Chris
