Stefano,
I have looked a bit in the literature and have seen that values between 5 and 15 are typical. Completely unscientifically, I usually use 10 for a "typical" room. I would use a higher value if I were dealing with a room that had a lot of furnishings or a lot of papers. I typically use a value of 5 for corridors and lobbies since they tend to be less heavily furnished.
Best,
david

Dear all,

I am wondering how to estimate the “humidity capacitance ratio” - = multiplication factor generally in the range of 1 to 10 – needed using the simplified (effective capacitance humidity model) type56 moisture model.

Any suggestion, experience, literature references?

I have looked in the manual but I could not find any clue!

Thanks a lot!

All the best

Stefano
