Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] use thermal cameras to capture occupant heat gain





Hello,

Maybe a opposite way this (with the median rate for your time period):

Hi everyone,

I am trying to capture the information regarding the occupants of an existing building. This is represented by the People object in E+. I plan to use:
1. video imaging to count the number of people in a space
2. thermal cameras to detect the heat released by the human bodies.

I searched but couldnt find how the data captured by a thermal camera can be mapped to EnergyPlus. the thermal camera captures surface temperature, while Energyplus requires the "heat gain per person" in Activity Level Schedule (watts per person).

thanks in advance.
Ipek
