[esp-r] adjustment of specific heat capacity of air to model effect of furniture

[Leen Peeters]

Dear all,

I was checking the code in order to find the exact location to adjust the heat capacity of air in order to model the effect of furniture in a zone.
Is there a standard way to do so? In BCL22 I saw it was stated as AIRCAP, but that does seem to appear in that controller only...

The ASHRAE fundamentals do not mention the topic 'furniture', I know the TRNSYS people use an increase of the air capacity with a factor 5 to 10 as a rule of thumb, but is there no general guidance for that?

Thanks!

Leen
