[EnergyPlus_Support] Total or sensible heat

Hi all,

I am studying the internal gains 's impact on humen comfort by a 
small test..
The sensible heat and the latent heat emitted by humans can be 
evaluated through some empirical values in handbooks.
Now I need to decide the size of the electric heater in my test.  
Should I choose the Total heat value emitted by humans or the 
Sensible heat only to make the sizing decision?

It seems I should use Sensible heat to size my electric heater. Am I 
right?

SOunds like a conceptual issue..

Besides, among "Zone,Sum,Zone Total Internal Total Heat Gain 
[J]","Zone,Sum,Zone Total Internal Convective Heat Gain 
[J]", "Zone,Sum,Zone Total Internal Radiant Heat Gain [J]" and the 
summation of the latter two variables, which one can account for the 
supplementary heating in winter seasons?

I still think the "sensibe" part should be considered as a part of 
heating ammount,working along with the HVAC equipments, whilst 
the "latent" part be ignored since it could not be controlled..

I would appreciate any instructions and help.

Eric
