HEat energy given off by a person

[Juvenile]

My physics class is doing a project where we need to calculate the airconditioning requirements for our class room.
I need to find out the amount of heat energy given off by a person sitting at a desk, wearing shorts and tshirt.
I have found some sites that state 100watts to 150watts
Is this realistic?

find the amount of calories you burn in a certain amount of time. Work from there.

Yes ... 100 Watts per person is often used for engineering calculations of heat load.
