CIBSE guide gives between 90W and 140W depending on how energetic the people are. Someone sitting at a desk Tweeting or on Facebook will be nearer 90W and someone doing manual labour will be nearer 140W

As Frank says, it varies.
The figures he quotes are generally OK but just be aware that not everybody falls within the norm.
My wife for example - 0W...
Young ladies in a gym - anything up to 1kW depending on how many men are watching.
