I am supposed to model a building with occupants. Obviously i can not model the building with the same dimensions. I am thinking of scaling down the dimensions of the building. But dont know how to scale down the heat source (occupants). I mean initially the building has around 33W/m^2..... so if i scale down my building what should be the heat source then? Thank you, you experts out there.
