Well, no, I was not. I was disputing your assertion that > body heat in the situation described would make temperatures unbearable > on a cold day. This is a strange discussion. > Yeah it is wierd. I think there are a lot of assumptions that went unmentioned, but really need to be examined as a part of this kind of discussion. In my part of Texas it normally doesnt get down to 32 F but for a few days a year. Another assumption I made was That there would be one large building housing everyone. In such a situation the upper floors would be cooking. I'd think you would also have to factor in the extreme high humidity here. It can easily be 80% in the middle of winter. And here in Houston we do use AC in the middle of winter, so there are lots of days when the heat load from humans is pretty obvious here where it might not be so in other climates. I have personally seen people heat a room up to miserable temperatures. I know cuz I was miserable and everyone else was til we went to another room and heated it up. It wasnt fun at all. xponent Weird Conversations'R'Us Maru rob
