[BLDG-SIM] Furniture Surface Area

[idoebber <idoebber@xxxxxx>]

I am running a standard 3 bedroom ranch style house in Energy Plus and am 
having problems determining the amount of surface area exposed to the zone.  I 
designed a total furniture weight of 5 lb/ft2 and with a density of 7 lb/ft3 
and specific heat and conducitivity values from spruce/pine/fir wood which I 
assumed the furniture was mostly composed of.  I need to specify how much area 
of that weight is exposed to the zone.  Can anyone tell me a rough estimate or 
point me in the direction of some journals that have basic specifications 
about furniture in residences.

Thanks
Ian
