The idea of providing shelter for residents is good. That not only is a
nice gesture but believe it or not but the heat contribution of a living
human is not negligible.

Some where (probably in the confidential book) are some
guidelines as to use of LDS buildings as shelters.

You're right, that humans put out heat. I used to remember,
there is an average figure of BTU per hour per average
person. That's cooling load in summer, reduced heating
load in winter.

The heat output of an adult human is about 100 watts or 340 BTU/hour. Some
humans, of course, radiate more than others.
