Finnish sudatory

Hello, I have to model of a Finnish sauna (dry bulb temp =90°C, RH=10%). Heat is produced in cabins where people stay. Could I model:

  1. heat production,

  2. heat losses through the envelope of the cabin,

  3. air exchange through a dedicated air system?

Or shall calculate the behavior of the sauna externally and import the results in EnergyPlus as internal gains (e.g. through the object ElectricEquipment)?

Best Regards

Francesco
