*Values are in BTU/hr per person

Room sensible heat (RHS) = Room total heat (RTH) – (no. of people x latent factor from VII)
Sensible heat factor (SHF) = RSH/RTH
Total sensible heat (TSH) = RSH + (cfm x outdoor air factor – sensible from table VIII)

In determining the outdoor air quantity for calculating the outdoor air, please be guide as
follows:
a.) Outdoor air Through the unit

- No exhaust fans, use value from Table IX.

- Exhaust fans, use exhaust fan air quantity or values from Table IX whichever is
greater. In the absence of exhaust air information, base air for 20 air changes per
hour for toilet room and 10 air changes for other ventilated rooms.

b.) No outdoor air through the unit

 - No exhaust fans, use 7 cubic feet per minute per person

- Exhaust fans, use exhaust air quantity
