Carbon Dioxide Emission from the Human Body vs. Activity
Calculate carbon dioxide emission from persons based on their activity level. This tool helps determine CO2 concentrations in rooms with people and can be used to modulate ventilation system capacities.
Activity Levels Reference
| Activity | Respiration (m³/h) | CO₂ Emission (m³/h) |
|---|---|---|
| Sleep | 0.3 | 0.013 |
| Resting/Low Activity | 0.5 | 0.02 |
| Normal Work | 2-3 | 0.08-0.13 |
| Hard Work | 7-8 | 0.33-0.38 |
Note: 1 m³/h = 0.5886 ft³/min (cfm)
