given:
one person can produce:
E = 300 BTUs of body heat per hour
dimensions of the bedroom is:
V = 15 ft × 12 ft × 10 ft

required: is the energy per volume if 2 persons sleeps in 7 hours
let T be the total energy produce per volume

T = (300 BTU per hour per person) ( 7 hours) ( 2 person) / (  15 ft × 12 ft × 10 ft)

T = 2.3 BTU / ft^3
