You should be looking for temperature change per person, not the zone mean temperature.
0 person is the reference Zone MAT.
If you alternate the occupancy schedule, you will get a square wave super-imposed on the zone MAT. The magnitude of the superimposed wave is the influence of the people load.
I suggested this method in order to save you multiple simulation run. The delta temperature will not be the same through the day for the same number of people change throughout the day for other reasons.
34°C is the Zone MAT? If it is, that is normal for a zone temperature in Sumer without HVAC. I.e., cooling set point at 60°C for the IdealLoadsAirSystem.
Nothing wrong with the Openstudio simulation. Both should give you the same answer.
You are sized to about 10kW of cooling load. Adding >5kw (50 people) extra heating will give you a warning.

Hey guys,
Sorry to bother you guys again. Im basically simulating a room of dimensions 10.2 x 11.8 x 4.44. And im doing everything but when I increase the number of people from 0 to 20 or even 50 it gives me an error saying the temperatures are too high. Im using the openstudio and not the legacy version. I'm using the the number of people input rather than the number of people per area. When I put in 1 person or 2 persons the temperatures go ridiculously high like 34 degrees! So I know something is wrong here, can someone tell me where Im going wrong?
Best Regards,
Altamash
