[EnergyPlus_Support] Heat generated by and environment for computers

["ooikoonbeng2004" <kooi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In tropical countries, with my experience in Singapore, many offices 
and laboratories with PC's (when introduced about 20 years ago) were 
air conditioned (cooled). Whether this is to remove the heat generated 
by the PC's (so that there will be less maintenance problems) or for 
human comfort is vague. 

Nowadays, laptops are meant to be used outdoors. So if the modern PCs 
do not need environment that are airconditioned (cooled), then 
buildings can be more sustainable by using only natural ventilation. 

Can i know whether the data that EnergyPlus (or its predecessors) uses 
for the heat generated by PC's has changed since 2001?  

Many thanks, ooi
