HVAC Random Tip Box

HVAC Tip - Did you know the human body produces approximately 250 BTU/h when sleeping? Here is a basic list of the approximate BTU/h produced by the human body for various activities:
  • Watching Television - 400 BTU/h (any sedentary activity)
  • Cleaning the house - 700 BTU/h (moderate activity)
  • Mowing the Grass w/push mower - 1800 BTU/h (heavy activity)
  • Running a marathon - 2400 BTU/h (extreme activity)

BTW, the Matrix over blew the numbers. In the movie Morpheus states humans give off over 25,000 BTU's. Only the author of this website is that hot..............))))))
